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.

Family Voice Calls

In August 2023, Kane County Juvenile Justice Center replaced the existing but outdated phone system with Ameelio’s voice communication platform. Launched in August, Ameelio provides 45 minutes of voice calls every single day to the 40 residents at Kane County Juvenile Justice Center. Ameelio voice calls are easy to use for the kids and easy to manage for the supervisors at the Center.

Privileged Voice Calls

Starting February 2024, Kane County Juvenile Justice Center is utilizing Ameelio’s privileged voice call solutions 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 Kane County, Illinois.

Corrections-Grade Tablets

Along with our software platform, we also provide ruggedized, corrections-grade tablets to Kane County. Tablets are used by kids to make voice calls to their parents’ mobile phones. Ameelio tablets have the largest screens in the industry, are equipped with cameras and headphones.

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.
