Los Angeles, California - January 25,  2006: Public Communications Services, Inc. the industry leader in providing inmate phone solutions to the Corrections Industry, is pleased to announce that the State of Idaho Department of Corrections has selected PCS, Inc. as their inmate telephone service provider.
 
PCS replaces  the States' previous provider MCI to install and maintain 414 new inmate phones throughout the DOC.
 
PCS' state-wide, easy to use inmate telephone solution for the DOC includes a sophisticated digital recording and monitoring system, and call blocking features that permit officials to block calls to certain phone numbers. Keeping with growing demand for biometric solutions in the corrections industry, PCS' phone solution for the Idaho DOC also includes a Biometrics voice match solution that will record an inmates voice and match it with their PIN (Prisoner/Personal Identification Number).
 
In response to rising complaints from inmate families about the high cost of collect phone calls from offenders, PCS' proposed inmate call rates for the State of Idaho DOC offers considerable savings to inmates and their families.
 
To ensure complete system and service reliability, PCS has provided 2 on-site technicians and a team of 7 on-call field technicians to support the inmate telephones throughout the State.
