<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Securus Technologies Announces Revised 3<sup>rd</sup> Quarter Earnings Guidance</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Securus is announcing that it will miss previous earnings guidance for its fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2007, due principally to three factors:  (i) a customer-imposed project delay on a major Syscon contract; (ii) continued very high legal fees associated with several lawsuits; and (iii) further costs associated with  a billing system conversion in the second quarter.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Securus&#146; CEO, Richard Falcone, stated &#147;while the third quarter results are not yet in, it is clear that earnings guidance previously provided will not be met.  Our current best view indicates that, as a result of a number of factors, actual results may fall short of the company&#146;s previous expectations by approximately one-half.&#148;  </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Mr. Falcone continued to state &#147;there are several significant contributors to this shortfall.  First, Syscon&#146;s largest customer delayed a major project phase ramp-up due to its current fiscal year budgetary constraints.  It is nonetheless expected that Syscon&#146;s total revenue and profit over the life of this contract will be on target with original expectations.  However, relative to previous expectations and related guidance, the near-term quarters will be negatively impacted by the delay.  The second contributing factor is unusually high legal fees.  Legal fees have continued to run at a very high level despite our expectation of a significant decline.  Certain cases have been recently settled, however, ongoing legal fees associated with bid protests on the State of Florida and State of Alabama and several intellectual property lawsuits have been appreciably higher than
anticipated.  The third significant contributing factor is unexpected additional direct bill and prepaid bad debt associated with a billing system conversion in the second quarter.  It is our belief that these billing system issues and impacts are now behind us.  However, related to the billing system issues, we have now tightened up controls which we believe will reduce quarterly revenue by approximately $1 million in the future while reducing bad debt as compared to recent levels.&#148;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Securus announced that relative to the State of Florida and State of Alabama contracts, legal appeals continue on both cases.  Nevertheless, in the case of Florida, a judge has recently ruled in favor of Securus, and the contract with the State of Florida has been fully executed.  Securus plans to begin to install Florida in the fourth quarter.  Revenues under this contract are expected to be in the $3 million to $4 million range per quarter once fully installed.  In the case of Alabama, the State itself, joined by Securus, has appealed a court ruling affirming the validity of the contract awarded to a competitor.  While the appeal is underway, the court has allowed the competitor to proceed with contract performance.  As a result, Securus&#146; revenues will decline by approximately $3 million per quarter and a significant amount of this impact will have been
experienced in the third and fourth quarters.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>The company noted that as of September 25, 2007 it had $14 million of borrowing availability on its revolving credit facility and a $5 million commitment for additional financing, as previously disclosed in its second quarter 10-Q.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Mr. Falcone continued &#147;The many countervailing forces in the industry and within our business have been and will continue to be quite challenging going forward.  However, the fundamental components of the business are expected to continue to perform as previously communicated.  Specifically, the roll-out of our new packet-based architecture is proceeding successfully and on schedule.  We remain optimistic in our ability to win new direct business from competitors.  Additionally, as a result of ongoing initiatives, our bad debt results with local exchange carrier billing agents is improving and this trend is expected to continue, while our percentage of prepaid revenue continues to climb.&#148;  Mr. Falcone added &#147;Also, based on discussions with current and prospective large customers, Syscon&#146;s prospects for revenue and profit growth, as the next few years unfold, appear
strong.  While the expected decline in Securus&#146; partner businesses is significant, they remain consistent with previous guidance.&#148;  </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.25in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Mr. Falcone indicated that &#147;Syscon, although the near-term growth we expected will be delayed, is expected to continue to perform at historical levels for the next several quarters and has solid potential for significant growth thereafter.  It has been difficult for us to project legal fees.  However, versus the unfolding third quarter results, we do expect a noticeable decline in the run-rate of legal expenses in the fourth quarter.   Although we were surprised to experience higher than previously estimated direct billing and prepaid bad debt in the third quarter as a result of our second quarter billing system conversion, we believe these concerns are now behind us and that the fourth quarter, barring any impact from deterioration in the broader economy that might impact bad debt results, should continue to improve in this area.  Overall, the fundamentals of the Securus direct
provisioning business are sound.  We have been winning net new business from competitors while eliminating costs and reducing risk through our roll-out of the new architecture as well as through prepaid and bad debt initiatives.  Additionally, the future prospects for Syscon also continue to appear quite sound.&#148; </font></p>

Quarter Earnings Guidance
Securus is announcing that it will miss previous earnings guidance for its fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2007, due principally to three factors:  (i) a customer-imposed project delay on a major Syscon contract; (ii) continued very high legal fees associated with several lawsuits; and (iii) further costs associated with  a billing system conversion in the second quarter.
