Legal Risk Services, Inc and Corrio, SPC Partner to Bolster Inmate Communications Across the U.S.
LEBANON, PA / ACCESSWIRE / February 3, 2021 / Legal Risk Services, Inc (LRS) has announced it has entered into a long-term Exclusive Licensing Agreement with Seattle-based social purpose corporation Corrio SBC to provide a nationwide voice messaging technology service for incarcerated people, allowing them to remain in contact with family, friends and professionals. Under the collaboration, Legal Risk Services, Inc will market Corrio’s patented voice messaging technology, in all 50 states of the US market, through its wholly-owned trade name People’s Justice TelLink Powered by Corrio.
“This partnership represents a major milestone in the inmate telecommunications industry, providing incarcerated people across the country with a new way of keeping connected with key support networks and ensuring they are able to access critical legal counsel and financial aid”, said Vincent J. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Legal Risk Services, Inc. “As well as serving those in federal and state prisons, we are focused on reaching underserved and hard to reach populations, such as those incarcerated in thousands of county jails across the country.”
According to the Urban Institute’s Justice Policy Center, half of all prisoners lose touch with friends and family while in prison, yet research illustrates the importance of maintaining social connections while incarcerated to be successful on release. The partnership further supports Corrio’s mission to transform prison communications for inmates and their families, allowing them to sustain relationships with vital outside support networks.
“This is a crucial time to enable better communication in correctional facilities since the pandemic has blocked visitations and left incarcerated people feeling very isolated and without regular access to legal counsel,” commented Alex Peder, CEO and co-founder of Corrio. “We’re excited about this partnership and the opportunity to expand our patented voice messaging technology services nationwide – geographically becoming one of the largest providers of inmate communication services and enabling us to support even more incarcerated people.”
People’s Justice TelLink Powered by Corrio will be available in Spring 2021. For more information visit: www.Tellink.co
