It's my understanding that there are some fairly stringent technical
demands for correctional facilities.  For example, the ability for a
jailer to monitor calls has already been mentioned.  Additionally,
there's often a need to block specific numbers (to a victim or their
family, for example) or to limit the number of minutes an inmate spends
talking on the phone.  There's also a need to watch out for things like
third-party transfers (trying to get around the restrictions put in
place).  In a nutshell, things just aren't like they used to be.
