Securus Technologies Celebrates 2019 EffortsDALLAS, Jan. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Securus Technologies, an Aventiv Technologies company, is celebrating 2019 efforts that helped incarcerated individuals stay connected with loved ones and access much-needed re-entry resources. Securus Technologies provides communications tools – including phones, digital tablets, email and video chat - that are designed to operate safely in a secure corrections environment and prevent attempts at criminal misuse. These products provide incarcerated individuals with the ability to communicate in ways that were previously limited or impossible before customized technology was introduced into corrections. One significant 2019 milestone was providing more than 4 million free phone call minutes to help incarcerated individuals stay connected with loved ones during national disasters as well as other difficult circumstances. The free calls are part of Securus' larger commitment to making communications services more accessible to incarcerated individuals.

"This is essential, as research continues to show that maintaining connections to family and community and having access to re-entry tools makes people far more likely to succeed upon release."
