Consumer TV Technology Was Never Designed for Corrections

Modern entertainment delivery is rapidly shifting toward internet-connected streaming platforms and Smart TVs. While these technologies may work in residential or hospitality environments, they create significant operational and security concerns inside correctional facilities.

The HY platform was designed specifically to eliminate those risks while still providing the flexibility and content options facilities increasingly require.

Purpose Built,
Not Consumer Retrofit

With deployments in more than 240 facilities, FlexStream provides a secure, dependable, and affordable platform designed to meet the evolving needs of modern jails and prisons.

The HY Secure Media Gateway provides a controlled, policy-driven platform that allows facilities to:

– Select approved content sources
– Control what content is available
– Determine where content appears
– Schedule access by time, housing unit, or facility policy
– Manage systems centrally

The FlexStream HY Series enables prison staff to create custom TV channels, and manage the content of those channels, with an easy to use, web calendar user interface.
