By Elmer Richardson


Correctional billing services or CBS as it's popularly known is a customer care division of Evercom Systems, Inc. and T-Netix, Inc. It is an essential part of inmate telephone system. An inmate telephone system has a few added features compared to normal telephone systems. They enable live call monitoring and recording and can alert the staff if a certain flagged number is called by the prisoner. The telephone system can also be shutdown remotely for security purposes.

Most importantly it can help to prisoners to go through their respective sentences more comfortably knowing that there are people outside who will be waiting for them to return. Some may have long prison sentences and in such cases, nothing will be more important than staying in touch with loved ones. Correctional billing services offer various types of phone card services to help the prisoner to contact his family and friends.

There are different types of correction billing services like advance connect, direct bill account and traditional collect account. By going for the advance connect option; you will be in complete charge and can receive various calls from the detention center. The minimum funding amount is only $25 and you will be able to access your account anytime by either calling the correctional billing service agent or by going to the website.

Other than an advance connect option, you can go for the direct bill account especially if you're an attorney or a bail bondsman. You will be able to call cell phones using this option but doing so will be subject to various facility restrictions. An itemized monthly statement that shows all your call activities can also be acquired.

Apart from the advance connect and the direct bill account, you can also choose the traditional collect account. This account will be automatically created once you accept any collect calls and your phone number will be used as your account number. In this plan, you get a 90 day spending limit and every time you accept collect calls, the charges for the call will be taken from your available spending limit. The total bill will then be added to your phone bill. By going through each of the plans provided by correctional billing services, you will be able to find the right one for you.
