MORE FREEBIES FOR PRISONERS

By Bob Walsh

 

thousands of confiscated cell phones laid out on tablesWho needs to use prison phones when there are so many smuggled cell phones available? Pictured: Contraband cell phones seized from prison inmates.


It is a fact that the (collect) phone calls made by prisoners from various jails and prisons are expensive.  The suppliers who provide this service are well compensated for it.  

SB1008 will, if approved, "fix" this problem.  This bill would provide for FREE (meaning tax payer funded) calls home for persons who are guests of the state.  Just thought you would like to know where your money is maybe going.

Yep, Jail collect calls are a rip off.
