Approval on file. State of Washington Department of Corrections K8262(1) Page 1 of 1 118365 APPENDIX 2.01.1 SERVICE Contractor agrees to provide to DOC, the following Services: 1. Hard or soft computer terminal kiosks designed to host a variety of offender service applications. The kiosk applications may be used by offenders to perform everyday tasks such as: • Downloading digital media to an MP3 player • Sending and receiving e-Messages (Email) • Receiving Videograms • Look up Trust account balance • Conducting video visits. • Incoming e-mail, screened by the system using keyword search before download is allowed. Keyword screening would evaluate risk level of e-mail. Unacceptable or questionable (moderate to high risk) e-mail is held or staged at a central computer for DOC approval before it is available to an offender for download. • Keyword search function may be edited at any time. • System allows all messages for a particular offender to be stored or to be transferred to DOC storage. • System provides e-mail send/reply capability (after keyword screening/review protocols identical to incoming messages). • System provides translation of foreign language e-mail. 2. Kiosk will be placed in mutually agreeable locations within the following institutions: Coyote Ridge Corrections Center (CC) Airway Heights CC Washington State Penitentiary Stafford Creek CC WA CC for Women Washington CC Monroe Correctional Complex Clallam Bay CC Olympic CC Cedar Creek CC Mission Creek CC for Women Larch Corrections Center The numbers of Kiosks per institutions will be determined by mutual agreement of the parties following the Contractor’s survey of the facilities. 3. MP3 Player o MP3 player has a video screen capable of displaying e-mail or other required information. o MP3 player connects and accepts downloads only from the secure kiosk or secure network o MP3 player audio is provided through headphone/ear buds only. o MP3 players use rechargeable batteries. Player Security Functions o MP3 players are preloaded with the offender’s name and ID. 1State of Washington Department of Corrections K8262(1) Appendix 2.01.1 Page 1 of 4 o o o To prevent the player from being connected with an unauthorized application, the device is configured to be constantly “locked.” Locked is defined as unable to connect to any machine other than the offender kiosk. Only JPay applications have the ability to access a player. A player may be accessed in the following cases: When the offender logs into the kiosk and the offender’s kiosk account matches the connected player. When the DOC connects a player to their computer and uses the desktop application. When a released contacts JPay to activate the release feature. In the case of unauthorized use, a notification alert is sent via email to appropriate DOC personnel. The email contains the name and ID of the offender kiosk account, kiosk location identifier code as well as the player’s serial number and owner information. 4. Kiosk Installation Process 1) JPay and DOC conduct preliminary sessions to discuss the scope of work. These sessions involve central office staff from Information Technology (IT), Finance, Operations and Security. The purpose of these sessions is to establish expectations and target dates for the deployment of services and products. In these sessions, the parties finalize discussions about network and power solutions. JPay also aligns the product offering with the DOC’s administrative regulations. 2) JPay and the DOC’s Trust Account Provider, Syscon, establish data integration. 3) Senior level facility staff conduct site tours with JPay for equipment installation. These tours should include staff who understand the facility network architecture. Here, JPay works with the staff to identify specific kiosk locations in each living unit. These locations are then communicated to the technicians for equipment installation. It is important that the appropriate staff are available when deciding upon kiosk locations, in order to avoid adjustments. All site tours conclude with a roundtable discussion to review and confirm the findings. 4) Kiosks are then installed in the living units, libraries and recreational areas. Computers and printers are installed in the mailrooms to support the email operation. 5) Tests are conducted onsite and remotely by JPay to ensure the security of each deployment. JPay tests network connectivity, power, line speed, port security, application stability and emergency scenarios. JPay also tests remote monitoring and deployment tools to prepare for ongoing maintenance and support. 6) Staff training is conducted both onsite (by region) and remotely via WebEx. These training methods remain available throughout the term of the contract. 7) Training and marketing materials are distributed to each facility (or regional manager). These materials include offender orientation pamphlets, offender commercials and instructional videos, commissary bag stuffers (aka “buckslips”), visitor handouts, visitor deposit slips, web design for the DOC website and posters in the living units. 8) Sell and distribute MP3 players. JPay works with the DOC to distribute MP3 players to the offenders. MP3 players can be offered for sale on offender kiosks 2State of Washington Department of Corrections K8262(1) Appendix 2.01.1 Page 2 of 4 and through the commissary. JPay is responsible for inventory management, order processing, and shipment. 9) Contractor shall coordinate with the DOC for the return of any MP3 players. The DOC shall provide a contact at each facility (i.e. the property room supervisor) to coordinate returns. 10) Turn on email and media applications on the kiosks. 11) JPay continues to provide support, maintenance and training throughout the contract.
