Interview with Jorge, Jeannette and Larry

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Jorge: I did.
Jeannette: yes there were about 15 - 20 phones
Larry: I was lucky enough to be a housing worker in my pod so yes I did

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Jorge: Honestly, I'm not sure. I think you can only call collect.
Jeannette: 15$ for 15 mins, and it charges whoever you are calling. and they must use credit card
Larry: I know it takes atleast 75 cents to connect and they charge by the minute after that...you could easily spend fifty dollars a week on phone calls and make very few calls

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Jorge: You can't buy phone cards.
Jeannette: no i didnt nee d to buy
Larry: No they were just collect calls

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Jorge: I don't know.
Jeannette: yes they did i guess so we didnt talk about breaking out
Larry: Yes all calls are carefully monitored and you have to be careful about what you say or they will end your calls if they don't like what your saying.
