Summary of Request

Legacy Inmate Communications provides phone services for the inmates housed at the Mendocino County Jail since 2011, under Agreement #11-147. In the ongoing efforts to reduce recidivism in Mendocino County, the jail provides programs for inmate education, religious programming and employment skill training.  Inmates have the right to participate in the programs and most value the opportunity. This tablet program will bring programming to underserved inmates that are on administrative segregation. The tablet program will give inmates the ability to include but not limited to; working towards a General Education Development certificate (GED), Life skills and access to religious programming.  This Agreement with Legacy Inmate Communication will enhance the programs available towards life improvement for those incarcerated by providing online classes and programs on tablets over a secured and monitored internet connection.  The funding comes from commissions earned from inmate telephone usage and inmate commissary purchases.  Those funds are deposited to the Inmate Welfare & Education Fund 760440 and are used to fund the programs and services for the inmate population.
