Processor circuitry 304 includes one or more processors. Processors control the operation of smart outlet 300 and its components. In some embodiments, memory 306 can be any well-known volatile and/or non-volatile memory that is removable and/or non-removable. Memory 306 can store a list of authorized identifiers associated with devices that have been approved for usage within the controlled environment and identification information associated with all residents of the controlled environment in which smart outlet 300 is installed. In some embodiments, smart outlet 300 receives lists of authorized devices (and updates) from monitoring center 130 such as through communication module 310. In some embodiments, each smart outlet 300 within the controlled environment stores a unique identifier that allows monitoring center 130 to identify and/or locate smart outlets within the controlled environment. For example, monitoring center 130 can utilize the unique identifiers for each smart power adapter 200 to determine to which smart outlet 300 the adapters are connected. In some embodiments, memory 306 also stores rules associated with the relaying of power through smart outlet 300. For example, rules can include but are not limited to controlling hours in which power may be relayed through smart outlet, default state of smart outlet 300, and a maximum duration of a session in which power can be relayed to a connected external device. The default state of smart outlet 300 refers to whether smart outlet is inactive (e.g., does not relay power by default) or active (e.g., a regular outlet that relays power by default). Rules are either pushed to memory 306 or pulled, such as through a request from data management module 308. In some embodiments, memory 306 also stores profile information of devices and/or inmates of the controlled environment in which smart outlet 300 is installed. Profile information includes information as to whether an inmate is approved for utilizing certain external devices, which devices are approved for receiving power through smart outlets in the controlled environment, and which smart outlets are approved for provisioning power to an inmate or device (e.g., a device or an inmate can be approved to connect to only certain smart outlets such as in their cells or in common areas).
