to serve more than 102,500 offenders. The initial contract period is for five years with one five-year
mutually agreeable five-year renewal. Securus successfully installed the Secure Call Platform (SCP)
and networked 149 DOC locations. Our project management team's approach for the installation
was to deploy two installation teams per Florida DOC's four regions. The contract was signed
September 25.2007 and the installation was complete December 23. 2007. Securus installed
approximately 2,270 offender telephones, 140 workstations/printers, approximately 50 TTYs.
installed all of the necessary recording and monitoring equipment required to meet the DOC's
specifications. Our installation teams removed all existing telephone devices and readied them for
shipment per our agreement with the previous contractor.

Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services
The scope of the agreement calls for Securus Technologies to provide a secure offender telephone
system to the 23,500 offenders incarcerated in the 26 Maryland Department of Public Safety and
Correctional Services CDPSeS) facilities. Securus provides secure telecommunications, recordings,
live monitoring capabilities and fraud control through Securus' SCP solution. Securus is also
responsible for the installation, customer (Friends and Family) service, technical support, customer
billings, and network operations.
Securus has held this contract as the prime contractor since 2003, and was a subcontractor to
Verizon providing offender telephone service to the DPSCS since 1994. In 2003 Securus installed
Digital CamBridge, a premises based offender-calling system that networked together all 26 sites
with the Maryland DPSCS. In 2009 Securus upgraded the system to the hosted centralized Secure
Call Platform. Maryland was the first DOC to use the automated Personal Allowed Number (PAN)
lists feature that allows offenders to hear, add and delete numbers from their PAN lists directly,
su bj ect to an automated validation process and/or the approval of the DOC to the change requested
by the offender. The Maryland DPSCS uses the SCP debit calling application, funding is
accomplished through an interface with Maryland's trust fund system. An automated interface is
also used to track offender movement, so that offender debit accounts are only active in the facility
in which the offender is incarcerated.

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

Securus will be responsible for recording and storing each offender call and the call detail as they
occur in real-time to a central primary recording and storage location and then Securus backs up
recordings to a secondary storage location. This will result in recordings and call detail being stored
in multiple locations to ensure that recordings are never lost
As mentioned in our statement of work, Huber & Associates will provide two racks of storage space
in its secure data center for Securus to use at Securus' discretion.

a. The secondary recording and storage location shall be in a separate physical location in a
separate building from the primary storage location, as chosen by the contractor.

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

The secondary storage location is in a separate physical location in a separate building from the
primary storage location. This storage location will provide for redundancy and disaster recov.ery
in the unlikely event that the primary recording and storage location loses call recordings.

•

Safe, Secure Storage Area Network
Securus will store the state agency's call recordings for access for the life of the contract for access
by authorized users. Call recordings are stored in Securus' centralized Disaster-Resistant CarrierClass Data Centers, which are managed under the direct supervision of Securus with maintenance
performed by trained data center personnel. Additionally, all equipment used to store recordings is
monitored by Securus' fully staffed Network Operations Center (NOG) 24x7x365.
The SCP system writes all recorded calls to two storage area networks (SANs) initially, using two
separate connections to the different SANs, proViding for primary data center redundancy.
Additionally, all recorded calls are written to a second media device and stored off-site at a separate
physical location.
A SAN is a high-speed special-purpose network or sub-network that interconnects different kinds
of mass storage and shared storage devices (such as mass disk arrays, and optical jukeboxes) with
associated data servers. The SAN architecture makes all storage devices available to all servers on
local area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WAN). The SAN solution not only delivers
complete scalability for the state agency's storage requirements, but also supports disk mirroring,
backup and restore, archival and retrieval of archived data, data migration from one storage device
to another and sharing data among different servers in a network.

•

The offender telephone system must be capable of handling collect, debit and pre-paid calls.
These call types shall hereinafter be referred to as a "call".

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

The Securus SCP OTS is capable of handling and processes only outgoing collect calls, debit and

through the Securus SCP OTS and the call will be billed to the party accepting a call.

How it Works
When the called party answers the phone, Scp's advanced answer detection triggers the call
acceptance voice prompt. The called party hears, "Hello, you are receiving a collect call from
[OFFENDER NAME], an offender at a Missouri Correctional Institution. This call is subject to
monitoring and recording." They then hear the following menu options:

•
•

"To refuse this call press 2."

•

"To hear the rates and charges for this cal/, press 7."

•

"To accept this call, press 1."

"To block future calls toyour number, press 6."

The SCP OTS automated attendant also provides a patented "Perma Block" process, which allows a
called party to block their number prior to accepting a call. This feature may be used to block calls
from any offender in a MODOC facility. The ability to immediately block calls helps reduce the
number of called party complaints and reduces facility labor requirements. The called party can
also choose to simply end the call by hanging up.

•

b. Debit Call: A debit call shall consist of the offender purchasing phone time through the
offender banking system before placing a call through the offender telephone system.

Securus bas read, agrees. and complies.

The Securus OTS is capable of the providing the offenders with the ability to purchase phone time
through the offender banking system before placing a call. SeCUfllS has identified the technical
interfaces required to provide this ability and has an agreement in place between Securus and
Huber & Associates to facilitate this requirement.
Securus has identified the method of communication between the offender banking system and the
Securus SCP, the fre'quency required for that communication and all required technical capabilities
that must be in place between the offender banking system and the Securus SCP to provide
offenders with the ability to purchase phone time through the offender banking system.
Securus has created an integrated solution between the offender banking system'and the offender
telephone system. By contracting with Huber & ASSOciates, Securus will make available access to
software that assists in the operation of the Missouri Department of Corrections Canteen Point of
Sale (POS) operation where an offender can buy phone time, Securus will also be able to provide
access to software that runs on the state agency's kiosk systems that allows an offender to buy
phone time, This system debits the offender's account for the cost of the phone time and credits the

offender debit account in SCPo Huber & Associates will provide Securus with a file containing a
record for each phone time purchase by an offender on a timely basis.
Securus is aware of how critical offender debit calling is to the state agency and offenders and
understands that this type of calling must be immediately available to the offenders at initial
cutover of the OTS. For this reason, Securus has held in-depth meetings with Huber & Associates to
ensure that we have the correct technical interfaces in place and that the information flow will
enable debit caJling on the SCPo All interfaces will be verified prior to final implementation to be
certain debit calling is fully functional and that the offenders will have access to debit calling
purchases on the in-pod kiosks at the time of implementation.
By partnering with Huber & Associates, Securus will provide the capability for the offender to
purchase phone time through the inmate banking system for placing a call through the offender
telephone system. The offender can purchase phone time through the offender kiosk system and
through the point of sale canteen system. The offender's account in the inmate banking system wiJI
be debited for phone time purchases.

correctional employees, law enforcement officials, jury members, attorneys and witnesses. Because
a global call blocking table may contain thousands of entries, Securus' SCP offers unlimited blocking
potential.

•.

All dial-around area codes and exchanges, such as 800,900, and 976, are blocked by default. In
addition, access to live operator services, such as 0,411, and 911, are blocked by default. Securus
will configure the global call blocking table to prohibit access to the following:
•

Direct-dialed calls of any type

•

Access to "0"

•

Access to "411" information service

•

Access to "611" customer service

•

Access to toll free (such as 800, 855, 866,877, and 888) type calls

•

Access to 900 and 911 type services

•

Access to multiple long distance carriers via 950, toll free (such as 800,855,866, 877,
and 888) and 10 lO-XXX numbers

To provide maximum convenience to facility personnel, authorized facility personnel can
administer blocked numbers using our single-point access S-Gate user interface, or by calling
Securus' Technical Support directly. All blocked numbers have an associated "Note" field stored in
the blocked number database to record specific information for future reference.

2.2.7

•

The offender telephone system must provide a pre-recorded announcement identifying that the
call is coming from a specific offender at a Missouri Correctional Institution before call
acceptance. This recording must be heard by the answering party. The pre-recorded
announcement shall include a statement that indicates that the call may be recorded.

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

The SCP ors will provide a pre-recorded announcement identifying that the call is from a specific
offender at a specific Missouri Correctional Institution before call acceptance. The pre-recorded
announcement will be heard by the answering party, and it will include a statement that clearly
indicates that the call may be recorded.

How it Works
The SCP OTS announcements feature is configurable and provides options to play various messages
to offenders and called parties during specific segments of a cal1, including during cal1 set up that
the call is subject to monitoring and recording. This convenient feature can include. but is not
limited to, adding announcements during call setup, call acceptance, when an event occurs, or when
interaction from the offender or called party is required.
The SCP OTS requires positive "called party" acceptance, for two-way conversation to take place.
When the called party answers the telephone. Scp's advanced answer detection capability triggers
the start of the call acceptance voice prompt. The called party is instructed to dial a single digit on
his or her own telephone from the voice response menu. TypicalJy, the SCP is configured to proVide
multiple choices to the called party, including the following:
•

Allowing the called party to request a rate quote

•

Hearing the name of the facility and offender calling

•

Rejecting the call

•

Accepting the call

Additional menu options are available. as calls are being processed to friends and family members,
such as the following:

•

Reviewing specific facility rules and regulations

•

Custom messages can be played to friends and family members that address specific
needs the state agency may require to help reduce facility personnel workloads

Offender Calling Process
First time call for an offender comprises the following steps:

•

First time calters (offenders) with a valid PIN will be asked to state name

•

The offender name will be stored in the SCP along with corresponding PIN

•

Future calls will use the pre-recorded name after PIN is validated

The following table provides the friends and family process when receiving a call, and the
associated announcements the called party will hear.

contractor must not process the call. If the telephone number has a positive response on the DNS
database. the contractor must process the call.

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

Securus employs the most sophisticated, intelligent validation network in the industry and
subscribes to the Li.ne Information Database (LIDB).
The Securus validation process first checks internal ors block databases before processing a call to
determine if the number is restricted for a variety of reasons; for example, telephone numbers of
crime victims, state- agency employees, corrections officers, 800 and 900 numbers etc. Other
internal ors block databases include. but are not limited to PIN validation, high toll blocks. or
attorney numbers (do not record numbers).
