Securus Reviews More Complex Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from Prison and Jail SystemsDALLAS, July 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Securus Technologies, a leading provider of civil and criminal justice technology solutions for public safety, investigations, corrections and monitoring, announced today that it has done an in-depth analysis of corrections related RFPs and has found that prisons and jails are issuing more complex/sophisticated requests for proposals that require a broader product set, better economics for inmates/friends, family members, and facilities, expanded safety and security features, and products that all facilities use to operate more efficiently. "The prison and jail officers and administrators that we serve operate like very smart business executives – they care deeply about successfully accomplishing their mission, which includes running an efficient facility, keeping rates for communications from inmates to friends/family members as low as possible, reducing recidivism, and keeping society safe," said Richard A. ("Rick") Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Securus Technologies. "Correctional facilities are much more sophisticated and demanding in the RFPs that they issue, and we have responded accordingly over the last three (3) years by building more state of the art products and technologies, investing materially in our business, making strategic acquisitions, expanding our patent portfolio, and fine tuning our US based customer service center, Securus has spent approximately $670 million1 to accomplish these objectives – much more than anyone else in our industry." Implicitly and explicitly our facility customers want:
"We count on our hard working associates, the systems we've created, the acquisitions we've completed, and our reinvestment policy to address all of the above requirements of our customers," said Smith. "I believe that we have the largest (owned) product set, use the best state-of-the-art technology, and meet or exceed the expectations of our corrections, law enforcement, inmate, and friends/family customers. We put $670 million to work in our business – much more than the entire industry combined, so we put our money where our mouth is for sure. Over the last three (3) years, we have won twice as much business as we have lost to all 58 of our competitors combined. That is a testament to the work that we do – and how we care for our business," said Smith. ABOUT SECURUS TECHNOLOGIES Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100831/DA57799LOGO
