"The LazerPhone® recording and monitoring system installed at the Louisiana State Penitentiary continues to prove to be an invaluable tool in intelligence gathering. In December, our investigative unit provided information obtained through LazerPhone® on the whereabouts of Jessie James Caston, one of the FBI´s 10 most-wanted fugitives, to the FBI and the Louisiana State Police, which was vital in the capture of Caston on December 20, 2000.

Although LazerPhone® has proven its effectiveness at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, as we have developed numerous cases against inmates, it has proven its effectiveness in assisting other law enforcement agencies in the apprehension of armed and extremely dangerous fugitives, such as Caston."

Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary

"On or around September 3rd, 2001, James Rather, an inmate charged with murder and being housed in the McCurtain County Jail, made a phone call that was monitored with the relatively new Global Tel*Link LazerPhone® system, and during that conversation, Mr. Rather confessed to the killing of the victim in his case. The jury found Mr. Rather guilty of first-degree manslaughter and recommended sentencing of 23 years in prison."

"In the last year since we have been using the LazerPhone® system, astounding things have happened. Two instances immediately come to mind. The first situation where information was gathered helped in the conviction of a suspect for first-degree murder. The second was a conversation between a jail inmate and his girlfriend. Through this conversation, we received enough information to get a search warrant for the inmate´s property. The warrant netted navigation 70 pounds of red phosphorus, which is a key ingredient in the manufacturing of methamphetamine."

"The recent installation of our new GTL Inmate Phone System was instrumental in identifying and arresting the inmate who was arranging the hit of a federal prosecutor and several federal witnesses. Because of the quality of the recordings and corresponding pictures, the identity and evidence was sufficient to orchestrate a sting operation and arrest all individuals involved. Our new phone system has been operational less than a month and it has already demonstrated its capabilities to assist law enforcement. I look forward to our ability to continually assist law enforcement in the future and the continued partnership with Global Tel*Link."

"The Sumner County Sheriff´s Department as well as other law enforcement agencies in Sumner County are sworn to take care of the public. This is our most important responsibility. GTL has provided us with a system that is of tremendous help in accomplishing this and for this we are very thankful."

Major Don Linzy,
Sumner County, TN

"My staff has reported to me that this system has not only made their jobs a lot easier, but proved to assist them in increasing jail security and investigations... Although we had recording and monitoring capabilities with our previous system, the increased ease of operation has reduced the manpower necessary to retrieve the information. This has encouraged the use of the system by all corrections and investigative personnel. I strongly recommend your equipment and your company to other agencies. Let me close by saying that we appreciate your responsiveness and the positive
