Continental Prison Systems Inc., dba EZ Card and Kiosk, a specialist in taking city and county jails "cashless", announced today that it has landed a 10-year contract with Riker's Island, New York City's mega jail complex.
EZ Card and Kiosk announced the deployment of four lobby kiosks at Riker's Island New York facility. They reached a ten-year agreement to service the country's second-largest jail, a multi-prison complex with more than 13,000 beds.
The lobby kiosks will be used to load inmate trust accounts and reduce the jail's liability when accepting cash and processing payments. In addition, the kiosk solution will handle all forms of payments, including major credit cards.
Riker's Island plans to incorporate additional EZ Card and Kiosk services in the near future, the company said. Booking and bail payment kiosks will help reduce liability and expedite the booking and release process of inmates at the burgeoning facility.
