Ameelio democratizes prison communication and education technology. By connecting incarcerated people with support networks and vital resources, we cut recidivism and sustainably reduce prison populations.
What we do and why we do it
With 95 percent of incarcerated people eventually returning to our communities, it is critical that the American incarceration system focuses on reentry and social integration. Decades of research show that sustained family contact dramatically improves post-release outcomes and significantly reduces recidivism, which is why we are working to increase the accessibility of reliable prison communications technology for all vital support systems.
Unified platform
Ameelio’s ecosystem of products helps everyone — from families
to corrections officials to educators and service providers
— empowering successful reentry from day one.
We work with departments and other criminal justice stakeholders to identify how to best leverage communications and education technology to achieve our shared rehabilitative goals.
Ameelio brings hope into prisons and jails by increasing contact with families and expanding access to education, legal aid, vocational training, and reentry resources.
Our products are built to reduce recidivism and infractions while improving the mental health and financial wellbeing of those impacted by incarceration.

Ameelio's video calling platform is so easy to use — it's going to save us COs an abundance of time, make our work more efficient, and get our prison population reconnected with their families at no cost.

Iowa Correctional Officer
Maintaining family contact is a huge benefit to people behind the walls, it should not be a fanciful goal. I don’t view it as an extra privilege for a few. Of course people want to know what’s happening |behind the walls. I want there to be ease of communication and to make it as cost-efficient as possible.
Dean Williams
Executive Director of Colorado DOC
We really wanted to find a platform that would create that extra layer of security. We’ve had video visits from 44 states and 12 different countries. Incarcerated people have something to look forward to with these video visits. I can even see it helping with disciplinary issues internally and potentially shifting our culture. I think it gives people hope.
Dr. Beth Skinner
Director of Iowa DOC
Ameelio worked with our juvenile detention center to develop a platform for residents to have secure contact with their families, while also complying with PREA’s requirement for a truly anonymous way to report incidents. Ameelio customized the platform to fit our needs and did so expeditiously. Our system is live now, and we are very pleased with the benefits to our residents and their families.
