Jail Search API

Find local jails by courthouses, police stations, roads, hospitals, and population centers.

core search

Search Jails by Region, Radius, Polygon, or Viewport

Search jails by geography instead of relying on text alone. EDK supports regional search, bounding boxes, polygons, radii, and viewport queries, making jail API useful for local discovery, infrastructure research, and programmatic geographic analysis.

ai

Give AI Agents Real Jails Tools

Expose jail API, routing, maps, and spatial compute through MCP so an agent can perform geographic work instead of approximating it in text. A model can find jails, compare them with courthouses and police stations, calculate jail coverage and courthouse proximity, and return structured or map-ready results.

routing

Use Routing for Facility Access Routing

Use EDK Routing for facility access routing. Compare real road or walking travel time, search inside an isochrone, or find jails within a route corridor. This is more useful than straight-line distance when access depends on roads, crossings, terrain, or network structure.

industry

Jails Data for Government, Legal Services, and Public Administration

Teams across government, legal services, public administration, urban planning can use jail GIS data for discovery, planning, due diligence, or operations. EDK remains programmable, so each industry can combine jails with its own scoring rules, private datasets, and product experience.

use cases

What You Can Build with Jails Data

Use jail GIS data for government, legal services, public administration, and urban planning. Common workflows include local justice network analysis, mapping, access analysis, operations, and geographic research. EDK lets each use case reuse the same Search, Maps, Routing, Tiles, and Compute primitives.

tiles

Serve Jails as Vector Tiles at Large Scale

When a detention facility map covers thousands or millions of features, load only the geography visible at the current zoom and viewport. EDK vector tiles keep broad jails layers lightweight while preserving styling and interaction for regional or national maps.

compute

Run Spatial Analysis on Jails

Move from jail API results to analysis in the same workflow. Calculate jail coverage and courthouse proximity, compare candidate locations, intersect features with another layer, or build buffers around jails. Outputs can feed screening, planning, dashboards, or automated ranking.

maps

Turn Detention Facility Map into a Product Layer

Map jails without maintaining a separate visualization index. EDK can return map-ready geometry, update results as the viewport changes, and combine the primary layer with courthouses and police stations. Styling remains under the application’s control.
