Patent number: 9699157Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for reviewing a posting to a secure social network (SSN). The method includes receiving a first media item from a SSN member, evaluating the first media item to identify a first media attribute, and receiving a request to access the first media item from an inmate of a controlled facility. The method further includes retrieving a set of restricted attributes corresponding to the inmate, and determining whether the inmate is allowed to access the media item based on comparing the first media attribute to the set of restricted attributes. When the inmate is allowed to access the media item, granting the inmate access to the media item based on the first determination. When the inmate is not allowed to access the media item, denying the inmate access to the media item based on the first determination.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Intelmate LLCInventor: Richard Torgersrud
