Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing and using temporary movement buffers for residents of controlled-environment facilities are disclosed. In some embodiments, for example, a method may include determining that a resident of a controlled-environment facility is unable to access a communication device to be used during a communication event involving the resident. The method may also include performing at least one of: (a) allowing the communication event in response to a buffer value associated with the resident being smaller than a time to the communication event; or (b) declining the communication event in response to the buffer value associated with the resident being greater than the time to the communication event.

Abstract: Remote multi-party and/or event-driven visitation for controlled-environment facilities. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving a request to initiate a remote group visitation session between a resident of a controlled-environment facility and a category of individuals that are non-residents of the controlled-environment facility. The method may also include identifying, based upon the category of individuals, two or more non-residents of the controlled-environment facility, and determining that the two or more non-residents are available to participate in the remote group visitation session. The method may further include enabling the remote group visitation session, wherein during the session the resident is allowed to communicate with the two or more non-residents.

Abstract: A controlled-environment facility resident interface runs on top of, or as part of, an operating system of a controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device. Application programs (apps) available for use by a resident of the controlled-environment facility operating the device are presented on the device, via the interface. The interface may provide functionality to enable switching between apps by the resident, such as selectable open application program indicator(s) displayed on a screen of the device, and/or the interface may assign a function to device hardware button(s) to provide a mechanism for switching between apps. The app switching functionality may also resolve conflicts between apps for device resources and apply such resolutions as a result of the resident switching between apps. Also, the resident may be logged into one or more resident-selected apps using stored app login information for resident-selected apps in the interface, in combination with identity verification.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide for systems and methods for converting a community device to a personal device. A personalization option is selected on a portable computing device. A device management server is queried to verify that a specific individual has authorization to personalize the portable computing device. If authorization is confirmed, the portable computing device is configured so that only credentials for the specific individual can be used to access the portable computing device. Authorization may include verifying that the specific individual has sufficient funding and/or verifying that a third party has provided funding for the specific individual. Restricted content is automatically downloaded onto the portable computing device as part of or following the personalization process. A first set of basic applications may be available to any user prior to personalization, and after personalization a second set of applications, which are only available on a personalized device, are downloaded.

Abstract: A visitation system provides visitation sessions between a resident of a controlled-environment facility and a nonresident, where the nonresident utilizes a personal wireless devices that connects to a wireless access point that may be accessible from a designated visitation area of the facility. A connection request from a personal wireless device of a nonresident is evaluated to determine the personal wireless device is authorized to interface with the visitation system, and whether the nonresident is authorized to communicate with the resident. If authorized, a visitation session between the resident and the nonresident is initiated with the nonresident participating via the personal wireless device. The visitation system may respond to a visitation session request from a registered personal wireless device by sending an access code to the personal wireless device. By confirming the access code, the nonresident may initiate the requested visitation session that terminates upon expiration of the access code.
