On August 22nd, participating customers with Securus’ ConnectUs Incarcerated Individual platform began providing Incarcerated Individuals safe, secure access to over 2 million current job opportunities on Securus’ exclusive Job Search application. This opens a wealth of opportunities for Incarcerated Individuals who will soon return to society better prepared for the job search process. Facilities will no longer need to escort Incarcerated Individuals to a secure computer location, monitor job searches performed by Incarcerated Individuals or pay for expensive subscription costs for job postings. Securus’ ConnectUs platform delivers Incarcerated Individual access via self-help devices located throughout the correctional facilities. Activity reports provide an audit trail of job seeker activity in the facility, and allow customers to report specific reentry outreach statistics to relevant stakeholders in the organization. “The ConnectUs Job Search application is available to all new and existing ConnectUs customers and gives Incarcerated Individuals real-time job search experience,” said Richard A. (“Rick”) Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Securus Technologies, Inc. “The early results speak volumes about the need and value provided. Our customers are looking for additional ways to improve reentry programs and establish solid life skills for Incarcerated Individuals; the Job Search application delivers. Securus leads the way with ongoing efforts to provide automation tools to Incarcerated Individuals, friends/family, and corrections. “We are committing to invest a minimum of $5 million in specific recidivism reduction programs over the next three (3) years at the prisons and jails that we serve. That represents a significant investment by us and it shows our level of commitment to making Incarcerated Individuals and their lives better,” concluded Smith. ConnectUs is the most robust and feature-rich Incarcerated Individual platform in the market, allowing Incarcerated Individuals access to an unlimited set of applications as designated by each correctional facility. Not only does this platform allow Incarcerated Individuals access to features and services never available before, it also fully governs what is available to Incarcerated Individuals and the timing. This ensures that correctional facilities have complete control over the content that Incarcerated Individuals can access. In addition to the Job Search application, ConnectUs provides many other beneficial applications to automate facility processes and streamline communications. These include applications for Forms and Grievance, Incarcerated Individual Telephone, Video Connect^SM, Incarcerated Individual Video, Incarcerated Individual Handbook, Incarcerated Individual Documents, Commissary Ordering, Law Library, Sick Call, Emergency Call, and many more! The possibilities are limitless. Securus offers the Job Search application through its exclusive partnership with Jobview. “We believe each job search experience is another ‘at bat’ for offenders engaged in reentry – an opportunity to increase the chances of success on the outside by learning what jobs are available, what skills are required, and where geographically the jobs can be found,” said Vice President of Jobview, Ryan Solberg.
