Dear Mr. Paton:
A question has been raised by one of the private sector partners regarding the ability for
offenders to have access to the Internet in the course of daily business activities. I have
enclosed for your review a copy of Department of Corrections Policy 280.925, Offender
Acces~ to Electronic Data. which specifically addresses this issue.
Policy 280.925, Section II C, states that physical security barriers must be in place to
ensure that offenders are restricted from accessing the Internet, LANIWAN (Local Area
Networks and Wide Area Networks), dial-in access (modems), E-Mail, and on-line
services. Only Civilian staff is allowed to have access to these areas. If these
applications are necessary for your operation, please let me know prior to installation so
that I can work with appropriate institution staff to ensure that proper security barriers
will be in place.

If you have any questions regarding use of computers by offenders. please give me a
call at 360-586-7552.
Sincerely,

Q:~X~I~~anager

Dear Ms. Ballasiotcs:
This letter is to ensure communication betWeen you. Correctional Industries. and me
regarding the activity at Washington Marketing Group's office at the Reformatory in
Monroe..
As agreed, we have ceased all marketing activities for our mortgage customers at this
facility.

..

Owing our teleconference of August 5, 1998 you stated that your concerns were
specifically Inmates... "dealing with information of people on the outside."
You also stated that you could support the industry if we were doing something else.
I have been working with the manufacturer ofour computerized dialing equipment at the
Reformatory to develop internal call transfer technology. This would allow us to.transfer
calls internally to a civilian supervisor. For campaigns that require the gathering of
information those calls would be transferred to a civilian supervisor and only the
supervisors would be allowed to gather information.
Inmates would not document information or have access to any of the gathered
infonnation.
This solution addresses your original concerns and also goes beyond those concerns. We
would apply this policy across the board and build all campaigns around the call transfer
capabilities. Any and all data to be documented would be performed by civilian
supervisory staff' only.

possible and apply its added security to all of our campaigns immediately.
I would like your feedback before incurring the expense to ensure that we have your
support once we institute this policy change.

Please communicate with me at your earliest convenience. I would like to proceed as
soon as possible.

Dear Mr. Yarbrough:
This letter is to confirm our commitment to the agreement made on August 5, 1998
between you, Secretary Lehman. Representative Ballasiotes. Cathy Carlson. and me to
transfer the telemarketing mortgage activity to our civilian call center outside of the
department's facility,

As discussed in the August S. 1998 meeting the transfer of the telemarketing mortgage
activity to our civilian call center outside of the department's facility would require the
construction of a larger call center.
During our quanerly compliance meeting on November 18, 1998 I informed Cathy
Carlson that our contractors, building the larger space for our civilian call center
necessitated by our agreement of August 5, 1998, were running 2-4 weeks behind
schedule.

In compliance with your request in your letter dated January 7. 1999 there will be no
mortgage activity at the Monroe Correctional Complex after January 19, 1999.

Dear Mr. Paton:
It has come to the attention of the Department of Corrections that Washington Marketing
Group, Inc. continues to sell refinanced mortgages to the general pUblic via telemarketing.
The agreement between you, Secretary Lehman, Representative Ballasiotes, Cathy Carlson,
and me on August 5, 1998, was this telemarketing activity would be transferred to your
civilian call center outside of the department's facility by January 1999. Your commitment
was to transition this operation systematically between August 1998 and January 1999.
Washington Marketing Group, Inc.'s continued telemarketing of refinanced mortgages is
contrary to the spirit and intent of the agreement made August 5, 1998. The department
requests written assurance by January 19, 1999 from Washington Marketing Group, Inc. that
the company is no longer offering this prodUct. If Washington Marketing Group, Inc. does not
cease from telemarketing refinanced mortgages at the Monroe Correctional Complex, the .
department will have no other option than to tenninate Contract No. CDC12761. If you have
any questions, please call me at (360) 753-4001.
Respectfully,
