3. Selected 6 facilities where detailed testing was performed. The selection was coordinated
through FDOC, and the test sites selected were not known to Securus Technologies. The
facilities selected are as follows:
South Florida Reception Center (SFRC)
14000 NW 41 st Street
Doral, FL 33178-3003
Everglades Correctional Institution
1601 S.W. I 87th Avenue
Miami, FL 33185-3701
Dade Correctional Institution
19000 S.W. 377th Street
Florida City, FL 33034-6409
Broward Correctional Institution
20421 Sheridan Street
Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33332-2300
Homestead Correctional Institution
19000 S.W. 377th Street
Florida City, FL 33034-6409
Hollywood Work Release Center - Female
8501 W. Cypress Drive
Pembrooke Pines, FL 33025

4. At each facility selected in accordance with step 3 above, to obtain a 95% confidence level in
the results ofthe agreed-upon procedures, selected between 3 and 12 payphones at random from
the various phones maintained for inmate use. A series of local, interstate and inter-lata calls
were then placed from each phone and logged as to the type of call, date, time and duration of
the call. A total of 130 calls were placed from the selected payphones. See Exhibit III for a
summary of calls placed at each facility.
5. Recalculated the pricing of the test call based on relevant contracted rates.
6. Compared the information gathered in step 4 and 5 above to the data reported on the Securus
Technologies billing worksheet to determine the information is in agreement.
7. Determined whether calls tested were completely and accurately recorded, in accordance with
the definitions provided in the FDOC contract, on the call detail reports provided by Securus.
A test call was considered "Accurate" if the call record in the Securus call detail report
containing the time, date, destination phone number and number of minutes approximated the
information collected in the call testing procedures. Similarly, a call was considered
"Complete" if it was included in the call detail report provided by Securus, even if it was
uncollectible.
