Securus Connects The primary mission of Securus Technologies® has always been to facilitate the connection between incarcerated individuals and their loved ones. Now, we want to focus on these relationships with our new campaign, Securus Connects.

After watching his adopted son Shannon be sentenced to an unexpectedly long prison term, Chris Bowen found himself struggling to stay positive. After discovering the many ways he could continue to build a relationship with Shannon through technology, Chris has found hope — not only for himself, but for Shannon’s future as well. JPay is keeping the Bowen family connected across the many obstacles life has brought to their doorstep, and it’s allowing Shannon to make a difference in lives outside his cell.
