Cambridge computer telephony specialist C3 has completed a full upgrade of a secure prison phone system which allows inmates to talk to their family on the outside.
\nThe platform, used in some of the UK\u2019s highest profile prisons and secure hospitals, has been enhanced and given a complete technology refresh at Isle of Man Prison.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The PTS (Prisoner Telephony System) provides a vital link for inmates to keep in touch with relatives and their legal team using access only to pre-approved numbers.
\nThe latest improvements and increased investment mark a decade-long relationship between C3 and the island\u2019s prison authorities.
\nC3 has supplied the Gateway platform since 2006 and oversaw the expansion and transfer of the telephony system when a new \u00a342million prison at Jurby was opened in August, 2008.
\nSenior Works Officer with the Isle of Man Prison and Probation Service Jimmy Hughes said \u201cC3\u2019s after sales support has been excellent and we are pleased to continue our relationship in providing this mission critical service to Manx prison.\u201d
\nC3 Sales Director John Wood said: \u201cOur Gateway system is continually under review and development and we are always striving for improvements and listening to feedback to keep it at the forefront of communication technology. The upgraded platform offers future multi-channel expansion and a cost-effective solution which provides a crucial service for inmates while giving staff control over calls.
\n\u201cWe have enjoyed a long working relationship with Isle of Man Prison and our partners at Manx Telecom. We also provide a number of services to all fixed and mobile users on the Isle of Man, and we look forward to many more years of successful collaboration.\u201d
\nThe only prison on the island, Isle of Man Prison was founded in 1891 in Douglas, the island\u2019s capital.
\nIn 2008 it moved to a new, state-of-the-art site in the parish of Jurby, increasing capacity and facilities available to inmates. The medium security facility has capacity for 144, with all prisoners in single cells.
\nC3 has 25 years\u2019 experience in supplying specialist computer telephony platforms and associated applications.
\nClients include Vodaphone, BP, ITV, Cambridge University and Anglian Water.
