White quotes

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 and have given us the ability to be PREA compliant.

Ameelio Learn: Learning Management System

Champaign County, Illinois is leading the way in revolutionizing juvenile justice education In May 2024, the juvenile detention center launched Ameelio Learn, a canvas-based Learning Management System that provides the kids with a custom-built pack of courses for youth.

Family Voice Calls

In November 2023, the Champaign County Juvenile Detention Center replaced their existing, outdated phone system with Ameelio’s voice communication platform. Ameelio provides 15 minutes of calls for the residents at Champaign County Juvenile Detention Center. Ameelio voice calls are easy to use for the kids and their families, while convenient to manage for supervisors at the Center.

Privileged Voice Calls

Starting November 2023, Champaign County Juvenile Detention Center utilized Ameelio’s privileged voice call solution for the important mission of Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) reporting. Ameelio is honored to be entrusted with the important work of providing a completely anonymous and secured reporting hotline for youths in custody in Champaign County, Illinois.

Tablet

While Ameelio’s software can work on any hardware, including existing facility-owned computers and tablets, we also provide facilities the option to purchase Ameelio’s proprietary ruggedized tablets. Champaign County Juvenile Detention Center has deployed Ameelio tablets inside its facility, enabling their kids to easily access educational resources, call their families, and report PREA incidences.

White quotes

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.

White quotes

Ameelio provided the Iowa Department of Corrections with a secure platform that was easy for our incarcerated individuals, families, and our staff to use. Their training and support while deploying the system to all nine facilities were instrumental to the success. The feedback we continuously get from families, Incarcerated Individuals, and staff proves that Ameelio was the right choice!

White quotes

I love this app and when I was in Loudon Co jail, I told all my fellow inmates about it. It truly makes a huge difference in your day behind bars when you get mail and it boosts your confidence knowing the world may keep on spinning without you but that there is at least someone that notices your absence and misses you.

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.
