Technical Response
Commissary, vendors, etc. Securus will fully cooperate with your facility and your vendors to
automate the systems.
The most common technologies Securus uses to integrate with your systems include: SOAP
Web Services, HTTP, FTP push or pull of files in any textual format, JSON, REST, and TCP
Sockets. All of these methods are performed over a secure connection.
11.40 System shall have the capability to establish unlimited "informant lines" to
support PREA, Crime Stoppers, or other requirements.
Read, Agree and Will Comply Without Qualification.
SCP can provide unlimited “informant lines” to support the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA),
Crime Stoppers, or other requirements.
SCP also provides a Crime Tip feature that provides offenders with a secure method to provide
crime tips and/or leave contact information for follow-up, if they desire
Informant Line
The Informant Line feature provides investigators the ability to set up any phone, a voice mail
box or answering machine to be called by “informants” without any indication in the call detail
reports, global lists, or to other inmates. It is a completely anonymous call and all information
may be hidden unauthorized system views.
How it Works
1. The inmate picks up a phone and enters the preferred language selection
2. The inmate enters either Speed Dial Code or Dialed Number as configured. SCP
recognizes the call is to an “informant line” and does not ask for a PIN
3.
The call goes out to the specified phone number. If it is to a live called party, he or she
will receive the call with no admonishments – the call is simply connected.
4. The informant, now connected with the Informant Line called party and can proceed with
the conversation.
Crime Tip
Securus’ Crime Tip feature is an inmate crime reporting tool that provides offenders with a
secure way to provide crime tips and/or leave contact information for follow-up, if they desire.
The SCP system anonymously records all messages left on the Crime Tip Hotline, allowing
offenders to provide crucial information without being exposed as an informant. Inmates can
choose to report:
Information pertaining to possible criminal activity, including narcotics and fraudulent activities:
A crime that has already taken place
A threat to their safety
