Telephones
Interview with pete, Jake, Billy and Kara
JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
pete: Yes
Jake: Yes but they shut them down regularly, so not
realy.
Billy: Yes telephones were accessible but very expensive
to use.
Kara: Yes.
JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
pete: Calling cards and collect calls
Jake: $3.00 to connect and about $1.00 for each minute.
Billy: usually like 5 bucks to connect.I remember a
phone bill when i got home for 80 bucks for like
5 calls.
Kara: Expensive charges to the person you were
calling. Minimum $20 a call; which was
burdensome to family and friends.
JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
pete: Yes or else I would call home collect and they
would give me a calling card number
Jake: We couldn't. WE WERE FORCED to call collect, &
make other people pay for the calls. This was my
biggest issue as it affects innocent people who
care about their troubled loved ones.
Billy: no.
Kara: Yes unless someone outside is willing to accept
charges.
JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
pete: Not sure
Jake: OF COURSE! I have no proof, but who would.
Billy: I dont know
Kara: Yes and quite well.

as far as access to the phones,,, ya you had access to the all the time but they were suppossed to come on at 9 very rarely were they on when the were suppossed to be then if they were transporting inmates to or from the court you can expect the phones to be off all day. for some reason booking is the one that have control over the phones and they lways sat on a high horse and they didnt care what the rules were they turned them on when they wanted to. and there was not calling cards in there,,, and phone call cost all depended on where you were calling ranging from 1.79 a phone call to 50 dopllars a phone call and phone calls lated 15 minutes
