Private Company Saves Taxpayers Money and
Prisoners Receive Education
1888PressRelease - more than 20,000 devices
already contracted to prisons nationwide,
Innertainment Delivery Systems LLC (IDS) is
saving American taxpayers money while educating
inmates. NASHVILLE - Innertainment Delivery
Systems LLC (IDS) has been contracted to provide
more than 20,000 educational tablets to prisons
and prison contractors across the country, thus
helping those who are incarcerated gain
desperately needed education. Quality education
lowers inmates' chances of returning to prison
and increases their ability to receive gainful
employment on the outside while also saving the
government and taxpayers money. These savings are
represented in terms of both educational costs
and paying for repeated incarceration (also known
as recidivism). "Education is the key to
breaking the cycle of recidivism, which is good
for both inmates and taxpayers," explained IDS
President Dr. Turner Nashe, Jr. "Our learning
systems enable inmates to take courses to prepare
for the GED test, as well as vocational and
college courses." IDS (www.IDS615.com) supplies
secured educational tablets that assist in a wide
variety of curriculums, including college, adult
basic education, life skills, financial literacy,
employable skills, substance abuse treatment and
reentry support. For college students, the
totally offline content distribution system
contains college textbooks from all major
publishers, video, dictionaries, calculators and
other content for any sheriff's jail or
Department of Corrections. It is the most secure
system on the market. It took over 16 months and
8,000 coding hours to build. IDS has also
created other systems, such as an offline
learning management system that allows inmates to
learn at their own pace in their cells.
Administrators can share syllabi, class modules,
assignments, quizzes, and supplemental audio and
video resources, and even do real-time grade
reporting. The third system developed by IDS is
the online learning management system. This
system has a myriad of custom development and
integration options. It is the most
cost-effective content management tool on the
market and enables instructors to edit content or
information quickly. This system comes with or
without content, depending on customer
requirements.

Tablets help facilities offer programs more
efficiently and allow inmates to obtain skills by
using tablet technology for educational purposes.
IDS has over 12,000 active inmate students using
its systems on any given day. Nashe added,
"Traditionally used textbooks become outdated and
are difficult to replace. If an inmate is
transferred among facilities, his or her
education may be interrupted, depending on which
textbooks and classes are available. Our system
allows for the educational materials and courses
to be current and learning to be continuous from
facility to facility." To learn more about IDS
