Independent Accountants’ Report
On Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures

To the Management of Securus Technologies, Inc.,
And the Finance and Accounting Director of the Florida
Department of Corrections:
We have performed the procedures enumerated in Exhibit I for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
which were agreed to by the management of Securus Technologies, Inc. (Securus) and the Florida
Department of Corrections (FDOC), solely to assist you in evaluating the Securus contract with the
FDOC. Such contract requires that Securus maintain verification of inmate telephone system
reliability for accurately and completely recording all calls made as defined by the contract.
Securus’s management is responsible for complying with the FDOC contract. This agreed-upon
procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely
the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation
regarding the sufficiency of the procedures enumerated in Exhibit I either for the purpose for which
the report has been requested or for any other purpose.
A listing of the procedures performed, summary of the results of the procedures performed, and a
listing of the calls placed are outlined in Exhibits I-III.
We were not engaged to, and did not perform an examination, the objective of which would be the
expression of an opinion on the procedures described in Exhibits I-III. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come
to our attention that would have been reported to you.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the specified users listed above, and is
not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

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:
Jefferson Correctional Institution
1050 Big Joe Road
Monticello, Florida 32344-0430
Franklin Correctional Institution
1760 Highway 67 North
Carrabelle, FL 32322
Calhoun Correctional Institution & Work Camp
19562 & 19564 SE Institution Drive
Blountstown, FL 32424
Liberty Correctional Institution & Work Camp
11064 & 11065 N.W. Dempsey Barron Road
Bristol, FL 32321
Wakulla Correctional Institution
110 Melaleuca Drive
Crawfordville, FL 32327
Tallahassee WRC
2616A Springhill Road
Tallahassee, FL 32310

4. At each facility selected in accordance with step 3 above, to obtain a 95% confidence level in
the results of the agreed-upon procedures, selected between 5 and 6 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 153 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.
