Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods may dynamically arrange icons on a screen of a controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device in accordance with criteria selected or defined by a controlled-environment facility housing a controlled-environment facility resident operating the device, and/or criteria selected or defined by a controlled-environment facility vendor, in compliance with rules and regulations of the facility housing the resident as applicable with respect to the resident. This criteria may include arranging the icons based on frequency of use of the application program (app), bandwidth availability revenue to the facility and/or vendor, time remaining for the resident to reside in the facility, a classification of the resident with respect to the facility, an upcoming or occurring holiday, offence(s) a resident-incarcerated individual has been convicted of and/or is incarcerated for, and/or the like.
