The Summit County Sheriff’s Office says it is employing a new technology to modernize communications with individuals who are incarcerated in the Summit County Jail.
The Sheriff’s Office recently partnered with the New York-based company LIAM Safe to install a new system at the jail that allows family to send high-quality photos, letters and greeting cards to people in the jail through an online portal, according to a news release.
The messages are printed within the Summit County Jail, eliminating the potential of contraband being introduced into the jail, the release states.
“Maintaining connections with loved ones is key to an inmate’s well-being while in our custody and their success upon release,” Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons said in a statement. “This system makes those connections safer, more efficient and more affordable.”
