Interview with Isaac

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Isaac: yeah, but it was a pain. You stand in line, you only have up to 15 minutes. I prefer a letter. And it was real expensive.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?
Isaac: Your outside person had to open an account. It cost $5 for 10 minutes to call. I think it would cost about $50 a week for the average inmate.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Isaac: no- you just dail the number and it gets billedto an outside billing service for inmates.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Isaac: Yes, Im certain all calls were screened and recorded.
