Confidential

01 · The Problem

Incarceration doesn't end at the wall — it tears families apart and burdens the entire system.

$500/mo

Family communication spend

Average household burden, just to stay in touch.

30%

CO turnover, annually

Officers manually review thousands of messages on top of 16-hour shifts.

States suing legacy providers

Active lawsuits against Securus; facilities are named co-defendants.

66%

Rearrested within 3 years

Family contact is one of the strongest predictors of successful reentry.

02 · Solution

An AI-first communications platform for facilities and families.

Instant AI moderation

Every message processed instantly. No queues, no strangers reading private mail by default.

Human review only when it matters

Officers focus on real risk, not volume. Hours of manual review reclaimed every shift.

Consistent & auditable

Unbiased policy enforcement with a complete audit trail.

Behavioral data as a byproduct

Anonymized data fuels grants and reentry programs.

04 · How It Works

Four steps. One unified platform.

Step 1

Message sent

Family or resident sends via the Bondli app or facility tablet.

Step 2

AI moderates

Models score for policy, safety and risk in milliseconds.

Step 3

Human-in-the-loop

Only flagged messages escalated. Officers see full context and audit trail.

Step 4

Insights & data

Anonymized behavioral data powers dashboards, grants, reentry.

Sub-second latency

No queues. Messages clear in real time.

Privacy-preserving

Attorney–client and clergy traffic never reviewed.

Fully auditable

Every decision logged for legal and oversight review.

05 · Why Now

Three forces converging in 2026.

AI is finally ready

Modern LLMs make context-aware, multilingual moderation viable at correctional volume.

Legacy contracts unraveling

Active lawsuits in 7+ states. Wardens shopping for replacements ahead of FCC rate caps.

Reentry funding is real

Federal and state grants reward measurable recidivism reduction — data our platform produces by default.

06 · Go-to-Market

Phased and focused.

Months 1–6

Community validation

Petitions, nonprofit partnerships and family outreach.

Months 4–12

First pilot facility

Target the 22% not locked into Securus or GTL.

Years 2–3

Scale & expand

Multi-facility operators and adjacent verticals: detention, treatment, K–12.

Wedge: Juvenille detention centers, private facilities, jail & mid-size county facilities.

Anchor: Wardens needing grant-ready behavioral data incumbents can't provide.

Expansion: State DoCs once 3+ pilots show measurable outcomes.

The closer I looked,
the bigger it got.
