Telephones

Interview with Ron, mike and Brian

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Ron: YES I USED THE TELEPHONES QUITE A BIT AS, YOU SEE WITH CORRUPT POLICE IT IS BEST TO CALL A LOT SO SOMEONE KNOWS THEY DID NOT KILL YOU!!!
mike: yes from 9 am-10 pm
Brian: You, I was able to make phone 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?
Ron: THE HIGHEST RATES THERE ARE!! I WASTED OVER 200 DOLLARS IN PHONE CALLS WHILE IN THERE
mike: on average it is $2.90 per call
Brian: The calls prices were/are ridiculous. They charge an amount just to set-up the account. The calls are then $2.25 and up depending on where you call, and the time of day you call. I think nightly calls were cheaper. Weekly an inmate could spend $50 per week on calls. Or more...because the time didn't seem long, or sometime the call would hang up before the time ran out.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Ron: NO AS I WAS NOT IN THERE LONG ENOUGH TO BE ALLOWED A CARD OR I DID NOT WANT ANTHER A CARD!!!
mike: only if you are calling a cell phone house phones go collect.
Brian: I didn't purchase a phone card. My family who i called were the ones to accept the calls using a credit or debit card. There are also places a person on the outside can purchase and apply to their cell phone.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Ron: I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THEY DID OR NOT
mike: yes
Brian: They say the calls were screened, but I'm not for sure. I wasn't ever talking about anything to incriminate myself.
