Abstract:
Disclosed is a voice messaging and calling system for inmates and their friends and family (collectively referred to as “outsiders”). It extends existing inmate telephone systems (“ITS”) without requiring any additional installation within correctional facilities or modifications to the existing ITS. An existing ITS provides functional restrictions, security restrictions and privacy limitations. The described system enhances the existing ITS to reduce the functional restrictions by adding the ability to leave voicemail messages when outsiders are unavailable and return calls to, or leave messages for, multiple outsiders in a single call. An additional enhancement allows outsiders to leave messages for the inmate at any time, which the inmate can listen to later. The security restrictions and privacy limitations are unaffected and left in place. The described system also reduces costs for inmates by allowing them to leave messages for and return calls to, multiple outsiders in a single call.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication processing system for allowing inmates to leave messages for non-inmates, comprising:\n a computer system having a processor, the computer system being communicatively coupled to a telephone system and configured to receive incoming telephone calls; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform one or more actions, the actions comprising:\n associating a telephone number with an inmate at a correctional facility; \n detecting a first incoming communication from a first source directed to the telephone number, the first incoming communication having header information and body information; \n determining that the first source of the first incoming communication is the correctional facility based on one or more portions of the header information or the body information of the first incoming communication; \n determining a protocol employed by the correctional facility based on one or more portions of the header information or the body information of the first incoming communication; \n transmitting an audible signal to accept the first incoming communication, the audible signal being selected based on the determined protocol; \n obtaining a message from the inmate to a non-inmate via the accepted first incoming communication; and \n transmitting a notification of the obtained message to a client device of the non-inmate.
