Inmate calling and commissary management platform for correctional facilities
Combined Public Communications operates a phone and commissary system for correctional facilities, built on a lightweight stack (SQLite, MySQL, Salesforce) optimized for secure, compliance-heavy environments. Current hiring velocity is accelerating with 7 roles posted in the last 30 days—primarily operations and support staff—suggesting they're scaling operational depth to handle growing facility deployments and support ticket volume rather than engineering new features.
Combined Public Communications provides communication and financial management infrastructure to public and private correctional facilities. The core product suite includes inmate calling systems with live monitoring and call recording, video visitation capabilities, and prepaid commissary card platforms. The system is designed to run in facilities without robust IT infrastructure—web-accessible call detail reports, live call scanning, and cell-phone-based alerts allow staff to monitor and manage inmate communications remotely. Current deployments focus on integrating booking kiosks and migrating legacy commissary data, with support friction around transition management and system availability.
SQLite and MySQL for backend storage, Salesforce for customer management, and standard Microsoft Office and Adobe tools. Infrastructure is cloud-accessible over Wi-Fi and supports iOS mobile monitoring.
Deploying commissary server applications, integrating booking kiosks into facility workflows, and executing data migrations for commissary systems. Primary challenges include managing smooth transitions and handling high support ticket volume.
