That's another possibility, and also possibly why they're trying to say that trips to that prison are always life sentences. That's the only way not having tracking makes any kind of sense at all. But realistically, every prison, even a Salvadorian super jail, is going to have some kind of tracking, or they'd never know if they lost a prisoner.
Just assign them a number when they enter without their identity assigned to it. Use a random ID with no date associated to it.
Why specifically no date assigned? Also, what you've described is a UUIDv4.
They can track the date he was admitted and know he's one of 15 people admitted in a range if they have an ID but no name.
I know it's a small tangent, but if you use UUIDv7 (and I think there's another version as well), you can resolve a date from the ID, as the creation time of the ID is used to help build the ID itself.
That seems like something the Trump government wouldn't know and then somehow time stamp something devastating to the administration.
Oh, maybe! UUIDv7 is generally preferred over v4 at scale because the time-driven nature of the ID supports indexing (basically, sorting) on the ID more readily than v4. That said, v7 is sometimes apparently considered a security risk because it can leak info (creation time), though the consequences of that are -usually- negligible
