GTL Releases New Subscription Applications for Inmate Entertainment

TV Audio and FM Radio applications available on Inspire tablets promote a quieter, calmer, and more controlled environment within correctional facilities

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reston, Virginia (PRNewsWire) – June 27, 2017 – GTL, an innovation leader in correctional technology, education solutions that assist in rehabilitating inmates, and payment services solutions for government, today announced that two new entertainment applications are being released for the Inspire® tablet. A hardened inmate tablet that features an advanced technology platform and versatile operating system, Inspire offers numerous education, information, and entertainment applications that have a positive effect on inmate behavior.

“One of our main priorities with the Inspire tablet is to offer applications and subscription services that improve inmate morale and translate into safer and more secure correctional facilities,” said Brian Peters, Executive Director of Inmate Applications and Hardware at GTL.

Available on all Inspire tablets, the new TV Audio application allows correctional facilities to broadcast real-time TV audio directly to inmate tablets. This is accomplished through a small device that connects to a television’s external audio port. Once connected to the TV and powered on, the device automatically syncs to GTL’s wireless network and is instantly recognized by the Inspire tablet.

“Previously, inmates would gather close to the television, and each other, to hear TV audio. These groupings could lead to noisy conversations, anger by others who just want to hear the television, and possible fights. With the TV audio app, those situations are drastically reduced. Inmates can now sit anywhere and hear TV audio through headphones connected to their Inspire device,” added Mr. Peters.

Available on the new Inspire 2.0 tablet, the new FM Radio application gives inmates access to local FM radio stations. Inmates can scan the radio dial to identify local stations with adequate reception within a correctional facility, save stations to their “Favorites” menu, or manually adjust the dial and skip channels.
