Voice calls

Ameelio’s voice calls are more secure, reliable, and cheaper to provide than standard telephones. Compatible with digital tablet and kiosk solutions, Ameelio’s internal voice technology prevents third-party dialing, supports approved calling lists, and is built specifically for the correctional environment.

About the product

Voice calls are key to maintaining positive relationships while inside. A 2020 survey of incarcerated parents reported improved parent-child relationships after speaking on the phone every week.

Ameelio voice calls are free for incarcerated people and their loved ones and are equipped with corrections-trusted security measures. And because Ameelio works on any digital device, our voice calls do not rely on the phone booth capacity of a given facility.

How the product helps

The current setup of prison phone contracts often burdens loved ones with the inflated cost of collect calls. This is because phone contracts operate on a commission-based model. For-profit telecom providers pay a commission to the contracting agency—like a county jail or state prison system—increasing the price of the call. Ameelio’s voice call feature offers a solution that’s free for incarcerated people and their loved ones. In addition to being compatible with digital tablets and kiosk devices, Ameelio’s internal voice technology also prevents third-party dialing, supports approved calling lists, and is built specifically for the correctional environment.

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.

Quotes Icon

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.
