Budget estimate

$500,000 – $3,000,000

Based on comparable correctional communications contracts in California, a county‑wide inmate communications system (including hardware, software licensing, installation, ongoing maintenance, and support) typically ranges from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million over the contract term. The low end reflects a minimal‑scope implementation with limited tablet units, while the high end assumes a full suite of phones, video visitation stations, tablets, kiosks, and 24/7 support for multiple years. Factors influencing the final amount include the number of inmate beds, the breadth of tablet education content, and the length of the service agreement.
