Abstract
Dynamic controlled-environment facility resident communication allocation based on call volume may be implemented using a controlled-environment facility secure communication platform. The platform monitors controlled-environment facility resident call volume, recognizes an average call volume and detects an increase in call volume above the average call volume or a decrease in call volume below the average call volume. The platform automatically initiates a controlled-environment facility resident calling restriction in response to a detected increase in call volume or automatically initiates an increase in controlled-environment facility resident calling allocation in response to a detected decrease in call volume below the average call volume. Thereafter, the platform automatically removes the calling restriction upon the call volume dropping to a first predetermined threshold in accordance with the average call volume or automatically remove the increase in calling allocation upon the call volume rising to a second predetermined threshold in accordance with the average call volume.
