Abstract

A controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device master control employs a controlled-environment facility vendor datacenter, a centralized investigative data aggregation and analysis system, or the like, to provide a controlled-environment facility management portal to a controlled-environment facility administrator, presenting an option to disable controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media devices operating in a controlled-environment facility. The controlled-environment facility vendor datacenter, or the like, disables access to controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media devices operating in the controlled-environment facility, in response to selection of the option to disable devices operating in the facility, sends a message to devices operating in the facility to disable all application programs on a respective device, and disable access to devices operating in the controlled-environment facility.
