What Bondli delivers to your facility
AI-first moderation: faster, fairer, defensible
No more officers reading texts. Bondli reviews every message in real time, flags what matters, and escalates with full context. Consistent, auditable, no overtime costs. And unlike a tired officer on hour 14 of a shift, the system applies the same standard every single time.
Behavioral data that unlocks grant funding
Every moderated message produces structured data: communication patterns, sentiment trends, network signals. Fully anonymized. Grant-ready. Wardens can use this to back applications for recidivism reduction programs, reentry services, and mental health funding. The data your facility generates can finally work for you.
Legal risk reduction, not liability transfer
AI moderation creates an auditable paper trail. No judgment calls from exhausted officers. No accidentally recorded privileged calls. One less liability on your books, and a system that was designed from the start to hold up under scrutiny.
Regulatory shift: 2024 to 2025
Site commissions are gone.
The revenue model has to change.
The revenue model has to change.
The kickback era is over. The FCC's 2024 order banned site commissions, and even after the 2025 interim rule revised rate caps, the ban on commissions held. Facilities used to get a cut of what families paid. That revenue is gone. The providers that depended on that structure, like Securus and GTL, are under serious financial pressure. This is the opening.
The FCC's October 2025 interim rule raised rate caps but reinstated the ban on site commissions and ancillary fees
Securus completed a distressed debt-for-equity exchange in 2025; GTL agreed to a $21.3M settlement for price-fixing. These providers are structurally weakened
About 22% of facilities are not locked into Securus or GTL contracts. That is a $3.1B serviceable market with nowhere good to go yet
Where kickbacks once meant revenue for facilities, Bondli is exploring what shared value could look like instead: analytics licensing, dashboard tools, or performance-based arrangements. Still early, but the intent is clear: aligned with outcomes, not call volume
Facility opportunity areas
01
Grant-ready behavioral analytics New revenue channel
Every message Bondli processes generates structured behavioral data as a byproduct: communication frequency, sentiment shifts, network patterns. Fully anonymized, HIPAA-grade, and ready to support grant applications for recidivism reduction, reentry, and therapeutic programs. States that dropped communication costs documented real decreases in reoffending. Bondli gives you the data to make that case with your population, in your facility.
02
Staff efficiency: redirect officer hours to safety
Every hour an officer spends reading messages is an hour not spent on safety. Bondli handles the queue. Only genuinely ambiguous or high-risk content reaches a human reviewer. That means fewer mandatory overtime shifts, lower turnover costs, and officers who are actually managing the facility instead of moderating a chat app. The $437M in federal bureau overtime spend in 2024 is a symptom of this broken system.
03
Recidivism outcomes: lower costs, higher volume Psychology of money
Families paying $500 a month ration every message. When the cost drops, contact goes up. And sustained family connection is one of the strongest predictors of successful reentry. This is not a soft argument. States that made calls free have documented measurable drops in reoffending. Lower recidivism means lower long-term per-bed costs, better outcomes metrics, and stronger positioning in state budget conversations.
04
Analytics dashboard: budget and program visibility Facility upgrade
Wardens and administrators get a live dashboard: communication trends, behavioral flags, engagement metrics, program participation. These outputs feed directly into grant reporting and state DoC budget requests. Your communications system stops being a cost center and starts being a documentation asset.
Worth knowing about your current provider: Securus had a national system failure in 2024 that hit 1,600 facilities, completed a distressed debt-for-equity exchange in 2025, and is actively being sued in 7+ states for recording attorney-client calls. GTL/ViaPath settled a $21.3M price-fixing case and got hit with a CFPB order for blocking consumer accounts. None of this is a surprise. It is what happens when a monopoly has no reason to do better. Bondli exists because families deserve more than this, and facilities deserve a partner that is not a liability.
Possible revenue streams
Subscription plans for families and individuals
Facility analytics dashboard access
Anonymized data licensing to researchers and policy orgs
AI moderation licensing to other operators
Performance-based arrangements with facilities
No site commissions. No kickbacks. No exploitation.
Go-to-market: how we get there
M 1 to 6
Community-led validation. Petition campaigns, nonprofit partnerships, advocacy outreach. Build the demand signal from families and reform orgs. Show the problem is systemic before we walk into a facility.
M 4 to 12
Pilot facility and regulatory positioning. Land 1 to 3 facilities not locked into Securus or GTL. Run live AI moderation. Generate the first behavioral data report. Build the compliance case.
Y 2 to 3
Expansion and contract capture. Go after multi-facility operators like GEO Group. Build out the full centralized system: messaging, video, commissary, background checks. License the AI moderation layer to adjacent verticals.
