How It Works

Incoming mail is received centrally and digitally scanned by trained staff. Each item is automatically logged within the platform, assigned to the correct prisoner profile, and passed through configurable screening controls.

Approved correspondence is delivered digitally to the prisoner, eliminating physical handling and the risks associated with contraband concealed in mail. The entire process creates a comprehensive, tamper-proof audit trail from receipt to delivery.
