As more communities turn to technology to assist them with their recidivism reduction efforts only, The Securus Foundation focuses on total community engagement. So whether a community is looking to assist their marginalized, impoverished and/or justice-involved population, our technology and processes focus on bridging that gap for all these demographics.
