1. An apparatus for controlling a call in a first controlled facility, comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one network interface;
a memory;
a software application, physically stored in the memory, comprising instructions operable to cause the at least one processor and the apparatus to;
connect an inmate in the first controlled facility to the call when each party of the call is verified;
test incoming audio on the call to detect a first controlled facility tone from a second controlled facility;
test incoming audio on the call to detect a second controlled facility tone from the first controlled facility;
transmit a notification of a first violation by the inmate when the first controlled facility tone is detected in the incoming audio;
wherein the first controlled facility tone is a first coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone;
wherein the second controlled facility tone is a second coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone; and
wherein the first coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a first pre-defined pattern tone and the second coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a second pre-defined pattern tone wherein both the first and second pre-defined pattern tones are detectable, when both are present on the incoming audio, via bi-modal telephony band pass edge filtering of the incoming audio.

Abstract
A method for controlling a call in a first controlled facility includes connecting an inmate in the first controlled facility to the call when each party of the call is verified, testing incoming audio on the call to detect a controlled facility tone from a second controlled facility, and transmitting a notification of a violation by the inmate when the controlled facility tone is detected in the incoming audio.

9. A system for controlling a call in a first controlled facility, comprising:
-
a computer processor; and a network application executing on the computer processor and comprising; a connection module configured to connect an inmate in the first controlled facility to the call when each party of the call is verified; and a call analysis module configured to; test first controlled facility incoming audio on the call to detect a first controlled facility tone from a second controlled facility, test second controlled facility incoming audio on the call to detect a second controlled facility tone from the first controlled facility, and transmit a notification of a first violation by the inmate when the first controlled facility tone is detected in the incoming audio; wherein the first controlled facility tone is a first coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone; wherein the second controlled facility tone is a second coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone; and wherein the first coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a first pre-defined pattern tone and the second coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a second pre-defined pattern tone wherein both the first and second pre-defined pattern tones are detectable, when both are present on the incoming audio, via bi-modal telephony band pass edge filtering of the incoming audio. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling a call in a first controlled facility, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code for:
-
connecting an inmate in the first controlled facility to the call when each party of the call is verified; testing first controlled facility incoming audio on the call to detect a first controlled facility tone from a second controlled facility; testing second controlled facility incoming audio on the call to detect a second controlled facility tone from the first controlled facility; transmitting a notification of a first violation by the inmate when the first controlled facility tone is detected in the incoming audio wherein the first controlled facility tone is a first coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone; wherein the second controlled facility tone is a second coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone; and wherein the first coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a first pre-defined pattern tone and the second coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a second pre-defined pattern tone wherein both the first and second pre-defined pattern tones are detectable, when both are present on the incoming audio, via bi-modal telephony band pass edge filtering of the incoming audio. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling a multiparty call in a detention center, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code for:
-
receiving a request to connect an inmate in the detention center to a plurality of parties in the multiparty call; verifying that each party of the plurality of parties is authorized to speak with the inmate; verifying that each party of the plurality of parties accepts the multiparty call before being connected to the inmate; and connecting each party that is authorized and that accepts to the multiparty call; wherein incoming audio from the multiparty call includes a detention center coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone; wherein incoming audio from a party of the plurality of parties includes a second detention center coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone; and wherein the detention center coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a detention center pre-defined pattern tone and the second detention center coded-pattern multiple notch filter tone is a second detention center pre-defined pattern tone wherein both the detention center pre-defined pattern tone and the second detention center pre-defined pattern tones are detectable, when both are present on the incoming audio, via bi-modal telephony band pass edge filtering of the incoming audio. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
