Telio, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, is the European market leader in telephony services for prison inmates. The Company operates in 12 European countries and the Arabian Peninsula and has a market share of approximately 50%. With installations in over 350 facilities, Telio offers around 230k inmates a full range of communication solutions. DBAG aims to support Telio’s strong growth by supporting its expansion in other European countries.
Specifically, Telio develops, installs and operates communications and media systems in correctional facilities. Inmates can make telephone calls via a controlled system, from the cell block or directly from their cells. Telio also offers curated multimedia applications for inmates.
The driver of Telio’s business is the facilitation of prisoners’ reintegration into society following their release. It has been shown that regular contact with family and friends outside the prison can make an important contribution to later reintegration. Recently, therefore, prisoners have been given increased access to telephones and other means of communication.
