> The point is that there is lots of technology that can do a first pass filter on phone calls.
Like most things, it becomes a question of incentives not technology. To the prison it looks like:
You want me to pay lots of money to develop/purchase a system that will vastly reduce the overhead on my very expensive phone system and will probably make me have to charge less?
(And for private prisons)
This will reduce recidivism and therefor the number of repeat 'customers' coming to my facility?
