Abstract: A method for controlling a call in a first controlled facility includes connecting an inmate in the first controlled facility to the call when each party of the call is verified, testing incoming audio on the call to detect a controlled facility tone from a second controlled facility, and transmitting a notification of a violation by the inmate when the controlled facility tone is detected in the incoming audio.

Abstract: A system and device for providing services to a secure facility. The system includes a kiosk with a processor, display, speaker, microphone, and a camera, and the kiosk communicates with a server that includes a server processor, a network interface unit, and a computer memory. The kiosk receives communications and transmits audio and video of the communications to the server via an internet connection, and the server records the audio and video and transmits the audio and video to a destination. The kiosk is configured to authenticate the identity of a user by verifying a personal identification number entered by the user and also performing one or more of a facial recognition via the camera or a biometric voice recognition via the microphone. The kiosk provides access to services including internet services, text-based messaging, tele-medical services, religious and educational materials, commissary ordering, and entertainment.
