I agree....and I get paid to put em in the klink...no reason for the prisoners to have to pay those rates....lower the phone rates and raise the sentencing!

I agree. Everyone should be able to call the Communist Black Caucus peckerheads for a dime or less.

When you’re right, you’re right - no matter who you are or how wrong you might be about everything else. There is no excuse for overcharging inmates and their families for phone calls, and you can rest assured that well-connected white collar criminals are making a fortune off those prison phone contracts.

No more Internet, TV, and just one phone call per month per prisoner.

This is PUNISHMENT for a Crime; not life-of-luxury accommodations, for Crisake......

they are not paying for the phone, they are paying for having that conversation recorded and analyzed.

“Almost never agree with the Congressional Black Caucus on anything, but the prices for prisoners to call family and friends are criminal.”

Also agree with you.

Likewise, the plans in place where a prisoner can make a collect call to family members are also criminal. It’s not free enterprise in any way, shape or form. It’s a form of robbery.

Go to jail. Find out. Won’t happen to you, right?

Prison isn’t supposed to be a vacation resort.

If you don’t like the conditions in prison, don’t do the crimes that put you there.
