They
provide the phones; you pay exorbitant rates.The prisons and prison telephone providers make huge profits charging
rates far in excess of street rates, but brag that they provide wonderful
access to keep families intact.They
even have lofty policy statements extolling their sincere effort to maintain
family connections.But in reality, it’s
simply lip service to the real objective which is making money.
Federal
prisons inmates are charged almost $70 a month if they use all their allotted
minutes to phone home.Yet they’re paid,
on average, $17 a month in prison jobs, therefore, families must subsidize
phone bills.Calling collect, as is done
from most county jails and detention centers, can cost as much as $1.00 per
minute with credit cards and/or credit checks requiring prior approval.
In
addition prisons rarely provide enough telephones or sufficient free time for
their use, creating agitation among inmates often desperate to keep the
connection to family and friends.It
means that families often feel that disconnection too and the slow separation
between family and inmate relatives gets worse as time continues.It’s a recipe for disaster for family and
inmate relationships, and a formula for stirring up problems between inmates
over phone usage.Fights over telephones
are one of the biggest causes of prison riots and lockdowns.
Most of
the following regs pertain to federal prisons, but there is information
regarding county jails and detention centers.Though these written rules don’t necessarily apply to State
Institutions, the unwritten rules are a real world set of inmate laws that must
be followed, be it in state or federal prison.Such unofficial laws are based on the inmate definition of respect and
failure to follow usually results in serious injury or even loss of life.
