Interview with Travis

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Travis: Yes, though phone service was incredibly expensive and complicated.

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Travis: The phone company was Securus and phone calls to certain service providers did not work. Otherwise, when you called someone they would be prompted to set up an account which I'm unsure of the cost of now being as I really never used the phone very much. Most people probably spend around $25-$50 per week on the phones. There are some who use the phones constantly though and must be spending thousands.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Travis: No, phone cards were not available.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Travis: Yes, all calls were recorded and/or monitored.
