Ameelio democratizes access to correctional communication and education technology. By virtually 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
95% of incarcerated people will return to our communities. It's critically important that we transform American incarceration toward being focused on reentry and social integration. Isolation from loved ones and resources prevent incarcerated individuals from successfully reentering society.
Unified platform
Ameelio’s ecosystem of products helps everyone — from families to corrections staff 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 in order to achieve best outcomes.
Ameelio focuses on increasing contact with families and expanding access to education, vocational training, and reentry resources.
Our products are built to reduce recidivism and infractions while improving the mental and financial wellbeing of those impacted
by incarceration. Ameelio brings hope into prisons and jails.

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.
Mike Gass
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.
Amy Sierra
Assistant Superintendent, Kane County JJC
We have had nothing but a great experience with Ameelio. Ameelio staff were onsite for our launch and returned to work through any issues. We have continued to meet with Ameelio staff bi-weekly since our launch. They are incredibly responsive and have worked diligently to address our concerns at all hours of the day. The tablets have saved our staff a considerable amount of time.
