Securus Technologies Adds Atlas and CareerSafe Certifications to Secure Jail Tablets

Delivers job-ready credentials with no added staff burden, supporting reentry education and workforce readiness

MILWAUKEE, CA, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At a time when county facilities face increasing pressure to deliver stronger outcomes with limited staff and resources, sheriffs and jail administrators need practical ways to expand reentry programming without adding to operational demands. At the American Jail Association (AJA) Conference & Jail Expo, Securus Technologies is introducing two new tablet-based offerings, Atlas by The Change Companies and CareerSafe OSHA 10-Hour General Industry and Construction safety training, designed to help incarcerated individuals build job-ready skills and earn employer-recognized credentials before release, without requiring additional officer time.

Conference attendees can test both tools on the Securus corrections-grade tablet platform at the AJA Conference & Jail Expo, May 16-20 in Milwaukee.

Self-Guided Reentry Programming That Runs Without Staff
For facilities operating with lean staffing, Atlas Interactive Journaling fills a critical gap by allowing learners to complete structured reentry programming independently, without requiring a facilitator in the room. Integrated within Edovo’s 35,000+ hours of content on the Securus tablet, Atlas connects guided reflection with a comprehensive video and podcast library in a single, unified experience on a secure platform that facilities already use. Staff have access to progress summaries and engagement reports, along with “red flag” indicators for early risk detection.

Early results from the Washington Department of Corrections (DOC) demonstrate strong engagement and measurable impact. Thousands of participants actively used Atlas to support self reflection, skill building, and progress toward treatment goals, with more than 4,000 individuals engaging across nearly 100 journaling topics, logging 5,780 hours over 18,240 sessions. Atlas combines The Change Companies’ Interactive Journaling^® methodology and curriculum, which are widely used across correctional environments, and spans anger management, mental health education, substance use intervention, financial literacy, parenting skills, job readiness, life skills, and more.

“Atlas enables corrections agencies to deliver risk need responsive, cognitive behavioral programming at scale, while generating measurable outcomes that matter,” said Valerie Bagley, Chief Program Officer, The Change Companies. “Washington DOC’s early results show how accessible, self directed digital tools can drive engagement, insight, and meaningful behavior change across entire populations.”

A Credential Employers Recognize, Earned Before Release
CareerSafe, one of the nation’s largest providers of OSHA authorized safety training, delivers foundational workplace safety knowledge required across industries such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and public safety. Available directly on Securus tablets, the program enables facilities to offer employer-recognized workforce credentials at scale, without instructor-led training or additional staff time.

The program is already live at Belknap County, New Hampshire, and Arizona Correctional Enterprises, where incarcerated individuals can earn an OSHA 10-Hour Card before release. The credential is portable across employers, valid for a lifetime, and aligned to industries actively hiring second-chance workers, helping facilities expand reentry outcomes that support both employment pathways and long-term public safety.

“Facilities like Belknap County are already seeing what happens when incarcerated individuals earn real, employer-recognized credentials before release: fewer individuals returning to incarceration and less strain on staff are outcomes county leaders can see,” said Kevin Elder, Interim CEO & President, Securus Technologies. “Workforce readiness is a critical driver of long-term community safety and economic stability, and a key factor in reducing recidivism and the ongoing burden on corrections systems. Both tools run on the tablet platform sheriffs already have, which means no new classes, no overtime, and no additional officers required.”

See It at AJA, Booth 139
AJA attendees can experience the complete Evotab corrections grade platform, including Atlas and CareerSafe, live at Booth 139 during the AJA Conference & Jail Expo, May 16–20 in Milwaukee. CareerSafe will also be in attendance at booth 822.
