How Inmate Tablet Solutions Has Caused Reduction Of Recidivism

By Peter Taylor


An inmate telephone is a communication service that is provided to a detainee in the correctional facility. This gives criminals a chance to communicate with their families members freely and to consult with their legal counsel. This method enables the prison administration to monitor the actions of all convicts. The inmate tablet solutions have replaced the ancient letter writing technique. It is more effective and secure as the outlined information below indicates.

Survey shows that many phones in prison are used for making drug deals, talking to relatives, and organizing crime. These devices are associated crimes such as robbery with violence. Mobiles created a sort of leadership in correctional facilities and caused bullying and violence. Those who had devices were considered to be powerful since they could coordinate illegal activities while in prison.

The invention is designed in a way that makes it easy for people to work with. It has a high memory, its battery is durable, and contains a large screen that makes the prisoner read, watch music videos, and other forms of entertainment easily. The device has modified security made of five discrete components this include network security, wireless security, operating system, hardware security and application security.

Most of these devices have been controlled and get designed to prevent inmates from accessing unauthorized features, settings, and websites. One of the significant challenges with invention used in a correctional facility is its access control. The authorities would want to know the time the convicts are using the phone and what they doing with it.

Studies have established that those with illegal mobile phones use them to plan and organize crime activities with other gangs in the outside world. It was also used to do drug deals. The leaders of many crimes in prison bullied the weaker convicts and were given the responsibility of ensuring that their tablets were safe. Most of these convicts were punished for having mobiles which did not belong to them.

Inmates spend most of their free time operating phones. This means they will have less time with other inmates. This enables them to have less physical and verbal variations with one another or with the institutions staff. This has resulted in less risk. For a prisoner to be able to use the phone, they are required to list the names and the number of people they intend to contact. This limitation varies depending on prison rules.

Since the introduction of tablets into the correctional facility, it has led to the improvement of these institutions, high productivity, and the prisoners have managed to apply for job vacancies and this has resulted in declined recidivism. However, it becomes expensive to use this device and it requires payment when using certain apps such as playing games or downloading movies. Most facilities do not cover these expenses hence all families of prisoners are left with the burden.

Staffs and detainees who are found with devices go through severe punishment. For convicts, it includes loss of privileges or addition of sentence. Staffs who engage in malpractices might lose their jobs or get charged. The prison authorities have also invested in cutting off network in prison. This ensure that in the case where a prisoner manages to smuggle a phone they will not be able to use it.
