How it works
After successful user identification via PIN, bar code, RFID tag or PIN plus live identification (via webcam, controllable by random from the corrections officers' office PC) residents are allowed to place phone calls within their predefined scope of authorizations and provided that they have available credit on their virtual call fund accounts.
PrisonPhone™ offers extensive monitoring and recording capabilities, including the ability to archive phone calls for later review by corrections officers who can also spontaneously decide to listen in or tag phone calls whenever considered as mandatory, also accessible for court room use as needed 24/7/365.
PrisonPhone™ offers several upgrade options:
PrisonPhone™ can be expanded with a free of charge telephone hotline that offers inmates professional support in emotional states of emergency. Although this offer is time-limited to the prison cell opening hours and only accessible to the residents in the public prison areas, this is an important and effective measure that may even save offenders' lives.
PrisonPhone™ can further be upgraded to IP video telephony. Therefore, the telephone's housing will be expanded so as to include a large-screen color display. Together with the VideoVisit IP technology, inmates as well as their families and friends - provided that these are equipped accordingly - are being offered the chance of communicating face to face. This is in fact an important measure to enhance the relationship between inmates and their relatives - especially those families who are living farther away and can't come by for regular visits.
