Claim 9:
10. A dual-mode mobile device for operating within a controlled environment, comprising:
a memory configured to store a file system container and an application; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
generate the file system container in the dual-mode mobile device based on an inmate profile received from a monitoring server associated with the controlled environment, wherein the file system container is associated with an execution rule and the file system container includes the application, and wherein the application is permitted to be executed based on the execution rule;
subsequent to generating the file system container in the dual-mode mobile device, permitting the dual-mode mobile device to:
transmit, over a first connection between the dual-mode mobile device and the monitoring server, a first call request to the monitoring server, wherein the first call request is a request to conduct a call between the dual-mode mobile device and an outside device located outside of the controlled environment;
receive, over the first connection, an authorization message from the monitoring server;
transmit a second call request over a second connection between the dual-mode mobile device and the monitoring server to establish the call based on the authorization message; and
establish, via the application, the call over the second connection with the outside device responsive to transmitting the second call request; and

monitor communications during the call.
