The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) is currently working on a robotic restroom that also doubles as a urine drug test. The purpose of the trial is to create a framework that will enable supervisees to perform urine tests without supervision. The Singapore Penitentiary's Prison Automated Screening System (PASS) allows supervisees to complete contactless urine tests in less than 10 minutes. This project was created in collaboration with SPS and the Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX). The Selarang Community Supervision Centre's use of a four-cubicle system since September was originally made public by The Straits Times. The same story states that the trials are expected to wrap up in February 2024. In addition to a metal detector and a cubicle where supervisors can register using their fingerprints, PASS also has a testing room. The entire procedure is detailed here, according to The Straits Times. [caption id="attachment_70198" align="aligncenter" width="680"]

The cubicle door automatically closes and locks before the supervisee urinates into the collection bowl. After the urine is robotically processed and tested, the supervisee waits in the cubicle for the results, which will be ready in about five minutes. If everything works out well, the door unlocks and the supervisee can leave. However, if more inquiry is required or there is a suspicion of misconduct, an officer is called.

In the meantime, Selarang Park processes 200 to 300 tests daily. Prison officers are now free to carry out other higher-order activities, such as identifying supervisees who need more involvement, because Pass only activates an officer if there is a problem, according to DSP Sameeyul. The number of employees required to oversee testing is cut in half thanks to innovations like PASS. One jail officer is now required for every two supervisees taking a manual test, but just one officer is needed for every four supervisees completing an automated test.
