| Correctional
facilities across the country suffer from cash related
problems, from gambling to drug purchases and theft.
By eliminating cash completely many of these problems
can be eliminated. Smart Vend Corporation can provide
solutions to eliminate cash and the need to make
change from the facility. By using smart cards or
low cost magnetic stripe cards all payments for
products and services can be controlled and easily
monitored. Through the use of site codes machines
can be setup to accept only certain cards keeping
staff and inmate cards on separate systems. Value
can be added through a simple software program which
can be easily audited at any time.
