Technology for a more rehabilitative corrections system

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

We are a tech nonprofit that works with departments of corrections and other stakeholders to achieve our shared rehabilitative missions.

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.

A full ecosystem of communication, education and reentry products

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.

Quotes

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.

Director of Iowa DOC

Quotes

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.

Executive Director of Colorado DOC
