mproving Lives, Reducing Recidivism, and Improving Safety and Security. Intelligent Device Count Exceeds That of Base 80,000 Traditional Incarcerated Individual Telephones

DALLAS, TX March 4, 2016/PRNewswire/ — Securus Technologies, a leading provider of civil and criminal justice technology solutions for public safety, investigation, corrections and monitoring, announced today that it had deployed over 84,000 intelligent communications devices that do much more than just allow an Incarcerated Individual to make an outbound call. “In over 28 years of serving the prison and jail market, we installed 80,000 Incarcerated Individual telephones that provide basic communications for Incarcerated Individuals but we now have exceeded 84,000 ‘intelligent Incarcerated Individual devices’ in service through the United States and Mexico” said Richard A. (“Rick”) Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Securus Technologies. “What I call intelligent communications devices include sophisticated Incarcerated Individual tablets, video communication kiosks, and our proprietary ‘S-Phones,’ all designed with the highest level of security.” “We want to help rehabilitate Incarcerated Individuals, to reduce recidivism, to improve the safety within prison and jails for officers and Incarcerated Individuals, to help Incarcerated Individuals find jobs, and to make society safer – and what we offer with our intelligent devices accomplishes all of these objectives,” said Smith. “Intelligent devices provide Incarcerated Individual education, both high school and at the university level; they allow richer video communications with friends and family members; they provide Incarcerated Individual handbooks; they allow more efficient grievance filings; they provide better access to law libraries; they allow commissary ordering; they facilitate religious activities; they allow Incarcerated Individuals to find jobs when released; and, they even provide entertainment which is an important ingredient to a safer environment behind bars.” Incarceration used to mean punishment only – but progressive law enforcement and corrections officers and the courts move beyond that being the only objective. Most Incarcerated Individuals will eventually be released so the experience behind bars also needs to include education and getting Incarcerated Individuals prepared for a life within society. The more education Incarcerated Individuals receive, the less likely they will be to return to a life of incarceration. Securus is participating fully in these process improvements by offering and investing in the most advanced technology possible, and the most efficient and SAFE TECHNOLOGY possible to facilities. “I expect the 84,000 intelligent device level today to exceed 150,000 by the end of 2016 – a large investment by Securus in Incarcerated Individuals, friends and family, and law enforcement/corrections. Our position and responsibility working with corrections and law enforcement agencies demands that we proactively help to reduce recidivism, improve the lives of Incarcerated Individuals and friends/family, and make the prison/jail environment safer,” said Smith. “We have made a $600 million investment in our products and services in the last three (3) years – and our customers are getting the full benefit of that investment.”
