IRVINE, Calif., June 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Continental Prison Systems, Inc. (OTC:CPSZ) - a payment processing technology company that specializes in the $500 billion government payment space, is pleased to announce that it has been asked to expand its presence and services provided in correctional facilities located in Broward County, Florida. The expansion represents an increase in revenue potential equal to or greater than a number of Continental's current accounts.
In total, Continental will deploy four additional kiosks to accept cash at the time the inmate is booked at the facility, bringing the total to nine kiosks. By using Continental's proprietary technology, the intake/booking process will be expedited and can potentially save the jail hundreds of man hours reconciling cash on a monthly basis. The kiosks are set to launch June 19, 20, and 21 of 2013.
"The announcement of our increased presence in Broward County is a welcome addition to our revenue line and to increasing our presence in this very large county and in Florida in general," stated Ron Hodge, CEO, Continental Prison Systems. "It affirms our appeal to these institutions who are embracing our technology as a means to improve efficiency and reduce costs in their facilities."
"Additionally, Continental is finding that it has established three lines for continued expansion," Hodge added. "First, our in-house sales team led by senior management continues to drive opportunity and new agreements. But we are also experiencing organic growth from facilities like Broward County which want more technology provided by Continental. Lastly, and perhaps most significantly, our valued channel partner Archonix has been highly productive in delivering contracts in new regional markets where Continental had limited or no business presence."
"The confluence of these new business lines has created an expansion of the use of Continental's technology that is unprecedented in our history," Hodge added. "We look forward to communicating further successes as contracts are signed and we are allowed to report the events."
