A dynamic ‘team’ of services
Continental Prison Systems, also known as EZ Card & Kiosk, a financial transaction service provider to the correctional and judicial markets in the US, is entering into a strategic partnership with law enforcement division Police Central Inc (PCI). PCI specialises in jail and records management systems for the Police, Sheriff and Corrections market. Through the deal, PCI will offer EZ Card & Kiosk services to existing and new enforcement clients. EZ Card & Kiosk currently serves approximately 40,000 people across 41 county jail and judicial facilities across the US, including 4 of the 10 most populated jails. The company’s suite of financial transaction and cash management services include booking, bail, probation, inmate trust account money load and EZ exit debit card upon release, incorporating physically present kiosks, online web based access and 800# phone payments.
“The blend of EZ Card & Kiosk’s financial transaction services with PCI’s full-suite of web-based modules automating key law enforcement jail management and records management tasks, creates a dynamic ‘team’ of services that will save these agencies a great deal of time, personnel, administrative errors and operating overheads,” said Ron Hodge, CPSZ’s CEO.
