Inmate Trust Fund
To complement our commissary service, we built into our store and cart registers a banking system that streamlines inmate finances in order to simplify jail management and maximize commission. CFS’ Inmate Trust Fund (ITF) is a leading, secure and reliable software package. Performing real-time wireless data transfers with 100% accuracy, this application makes it possible to handle any number of transactions--commissary sales, deposits, withdrawals, medical charges, electronic phone card inventory, indigent disbursements, release checks, etc.--simultaneously, all while preventing inmates from overdrawing their accounts. ITF is fully auditable and has an exemplary track record. Detailed receipts are printed with every transaction, and all data is automatically and continuously backed up to an offsite storage server.
ITF is user-friendly and guaranteed to enhance facility efficiency. Time-saving features include batch entry of inmate deposits, check issuing and processing, automatic transference of debt related to prior bookings, and automatic collection of debt upon deposit. Report Sniffer is an application feature that can run a search of inmate records to determine who has outstanding debt, has had no cell assignment for “x” number of days, or is up for a new electronic phone card. ITF also lets users know which inmates are indigent and which items they are eligible to receive, as well as whose commissary privileges have been restricted and how. Other customizable reports can be generated and alerts set at no additional cost.
We’re proud of our proprietary technology, so we take every effort to help our clients maximize its potential. At no cost to facilities, our engineers integrate ITF with existing jail management software and train all relevant personnel to use the application. CFS takes responsibility for all ITF hardware and software maintenance and offers technical support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
