Interview with Lou and Cindy

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Lou: Just one in the pod. Only one til 10 pm.
Cindy: Yes, there are 6 telephones.

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Lou: It was actually $15 a piece.
Cindy: I never spent money on the phones, so I don't know. I'm guessing $20 or so.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Lou: No they don't do that. They screw you on the phone calls. You have to use their phones. You get one free call after that you're paying for it.
Cindy: Yes, you had to have a phone card.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Lou: I believe they do. Says so on a recording when you make any call.
Cindy: I don't know if the jail screened our calls. I think you were free to call anyone you wanted.
