Our Vision
Telmate is a leading provider of inmate communications services with a primary mission to create innovative technologies that lower recidivism by increasing the secured connections between inmates and their friends and family. Studies show that the more an inmate is connected to their community on the outside, the less likely they are to reoffend. As a result, every Telmate initiative is aimed at making more connections simple, affordable, positive and convenient.
Our tech innovations emerge from our headquarters in San Francisco, CA. We also have a 24/7/365 call center in Ontario, OR, and staff located throughout the US and Canada.
