Cuyahoga County spent $1.1 million on XJail, a Securus Technologies product, for a jail management system that was never used, according to the county's Inspector General.
The Cuyahoga County jail is comprised of two parts: the older Jail I built in 1976, and the newer Jail 2 built in 1995. CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cuyahoga County lost more than $1.1 million on a failed jail management program that never came to fruition, the county’s internal watchdog found.
XJail is a public-facing system that shows which inmates are housed in a jail system, when they were booked, what charges they face, what their bond amount is and displays mugshots. Other local governments, such as As of May 2023, the county paid $241,778 to Securus after the county decided to cancel its XJail program, Beeler said. The “payments” to Securus were in the form of Securus withholding money from the county – the county gets a cut of inmate fees to use communications systems – to pay for the XJail system, Beeler said.
“We’re talking about things that are pretty far in the rearview, so my interest would be in terms of what systems can we put in place, so things like these don’t happen going forward,” Miller said.
