Prison Suppression

Identify and remove correctional facility addresses from your marketing campaigns.

One in a hundred American adults are behind bars. Are you wasting resources by unknowingly including these individuals in your marketing campaigns?

The Prison Suppression service involves matching and flagging (not deleting) records in your file against the addresses of over 7,500 prisons in the United States. Matched records are marked with an indicator placed in a new field added to your record. A summary report provides you with statistical data describing your results and a record layout defines field positioning and content.
