Incarcerated Persons Communications Services (IPCS)

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division operates two jail facilities, the Maguire Correctional Facility and the Maple Street Correctional Center (MSCC). The Corrections Division also operates the Alternative Sentencing Bureau, which includes the Sheriff’s Work Program, Electronic Monitoring and Work Furlough Programs. Through these three operations, the Corrections Division staff serves the Court, other law enforcement agencies, incarcerated persons, incarcerated person’s families, and crime victims by working collaboratively within the judicial system and the community. Our mission is to protect public safety, reduce incarcerated person recidivism, and improve the quality of life of those we serve by operating safe and secure correctional facilities.

The Facility’s staff ensures incarcerated persons:

• appear in court and complete jail sentences
• are incarcerated in a manner that provides for their medical, nutritional, hygienic, legal, and spiritual needs
• receive services designed to provide opportunities to improve their lives, both during and after incarceration, in order to reduce recidivism.

The Sheriff's Office is looking for qualified vendors who can provide a complete Incarcerated Persons Communication System (IPCS) to include:

• incarcerated persons telephone services in the admissions area and in housing areas.
• incarcerated persons video communication services (e.g., tablets on the incarcerated person's end), including visitation services, on-site visitation, and privacy booths for attorney, court, and public use, bail proceedings and remote court proceedings,
• incarcerated persons tablets, including educational, vocational, and entertainment content and services; law library content and services; and mail services,
