#12 Keeping Inmates and their Families in Touch - Frederick Hutson

A very clever man, Frederick was messengering marijuana very, very successfully...until. Then he was faced with the isolation from the very people who could help him through this tough time, his family and friends. Because of security restrictions, it is difficult for inmates to stay connected with their loved ones so Frederick put his cleverness to work and developed Pigeonly (like the bird) to help family find inmates and inmates to find family on sanctioned ecommunication channels. For example, one of Pigeonly's products lets inmates and loved ones have phone calls at reduced rates. All these ways of keeping connected help inmates walk the straight and narrow after they have served their time.
