FRESNO, Calif., Nov 6, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- CPSZ | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Continental Prison Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CPSZ.PK), dba EZ Card & Kiosk, the industry leader for taking city and county jails "cashless," just signed a multi-year contract with the Smith County (Tyler), Texas, jail.

Smith County jail has 865 beds and will require three kiosks to begin with and has plans to add the EZ Exit Card in the future.

The EZ Technology line-up, which will eventually take the Smith County Jail "Cashless," includes one EZ Booking kiosk in the downtown facility, which also performs the EZ Bail service, allowing inmates to bail themselves out using cash, credit card or debit card; and a second kiosk for EZ Money Load in the main lobby of the downtown jail, allowing friends and family to place money into the inmate's trust account, using cash, credit card or debit card. Both the EZ Money Load and EZ Bail services can also be accessed remotely via a secure website or toll-free 800 number, which accepts credit and debit cards. A third EZ Money Load kiosk will be installed in the lobby at the Smith County Low Risk facility.

"Installation and training will commence in 45-60 days," according to Emilio Gonzales, EZ Card & Kiosk Agent for Texas, "because Sheriff J.B. Smith and Capt. Pinkerton have expressed a strong interest in becoming more efficient and technologically advanced. We intend to help them reach their goals as we have for a number of Texas jails, as well as county jails around the country!"

About Continental Prison Systems Inc.

Continental Prison Systems Inc. (CPSI), dba EZ Card & Kiosk, is the first kiosk, internet payment and release debit card provider to successfully introduce a full-suite solution for the "Cashless Jail." The company offers innovative solutions to city and county jails designed to streamline and reduce many of the operational and personnel costs required to properly manage a major segment of detention facilities. When offering its proprietary software, teamed with customized kiosk hardware and remote secure website technology, EZ Card & Kiosk creates a system for jails for the booking process of collecting and depositing cash holdings of a new inmate; bail by kiosk or remote website; money load by an inmate's family and friends to make deposits into their trust account by kiosk or remote website; and issuing the inmate's money at the time of their release via the EZ Exit Card, a PIN-based debit card. The kiosks are secure and designed with user friendly interfaces. The goal is to help convert the jail into a "cashless" environment through the use of kiosks for in-coming cash and the issuance of a debit card to an inmate at the time of his/her release. In doing so, the facility is relieved from repeatedly handling cash, further reducing personnel time and expense, as well as errors and fraud.
