Creating purposeful connections through technology
Our goal is to create impactful connections and provide industry-leading service with a dedication to better outcomes for facilities and agencies, incarcerated individuals, and their family and friends.
We’re committed to increasing incarcerated individuals’ chances of staying out upon release with a multi-pronged approach to transforming corrections:
- Giving incarcerated individuals the ability to stay engaged with their support networks through our products and services
- Providing access to technology and education to improve their personal outcomes during incarceration and post-release
- Delivering law enforcement resources and secure tools to create safer, more efficient correctional institutions and the communities they serve
We lead the industry with critical solutions in both technology and service for at-risk communities, correctional facilities, corrections officers, incarcerated individuals and their friends and family. Our solutions help move incarcerated individuals forward starting the moment they enter a facility through post-release.
