Abstract
Systems and methods for assisting individuals, such as to provide assistance with respect to detainees at an inmate facility, are provided. Embodiments facilitate booking, bonding, and release with respect to an inmate facility by providing assistance to a detainee communicating with service providers and friends and family. Assistance may include prequalifying a detainee for services, collecting information useful to the service provider, and providing collected information to the service provider. Assistance may include collecting information useful to the friend or family member and providing collected information to the friend or family member. Embodiments communicate with banking systems to allow a detainee or friends and family to employ various payment techniques in posting bail or in making payment to a service provider. Additional functionality, such as call accounting/logging, call recording, and message delivery, automated response, may be provided. Embodiments employ various profiles to facilitate providing assistance.
