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

MP3 player has a video screen capable of displaying e-mail or other required
information.

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

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. JPay assigns account representatives to support DOC staff.
5. Projected Installation Timeline
The Contractor shall have a wireless network and kiosks with email and MP3
player/media functionality available in at least 90% of the facilities listed in Section 2
above.
If the Contractor does not have MP3 players and media available for sale to
offenders in at least 90% of the facilities listed in Section 2 above as of January 1,
2011, the Contractor agrees to pay the DOC $5,000.00 per month.
