Interview with Allyson and Eric

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Allyson: There's a telephone station where there are 6 of them. You can use these anytime you are out of your cell.
Eric: yea when you have the money to pay for calls

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Allyson: The cost is $2-3 per collect call. If you buy phone time you get 2 calls for $5. When you're in booking they have free unlimited calls until you go to your mod. It's not like on TV where you get one phone call.
Eric: it is 1.80 for a local call and up to 10.00 every three mins for long distance calls

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Allyson: You can buy phone time or make collect calls.
Eric: no just transfer money from your account to your phone time

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Allyson: Yes, they did. It's told to you, there are signs posted saying they might be screened. Mail is also screened.
Eric: yes they do screen calls
