Interview with Dale
JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Dale: Yes. You could use the phones anytime that you
were not locked-down in your cell.
JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Dale: The jail/prison phone industry is all privatized
now, the state has nothing to do with it anymore.
The average rate for a 15 minute phone call is
anywhere between $7.00-$15.00, depends on the
carrier. Each individual inmate is different. I
only called home once a month, others call
everyday. So, it varies.
JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Dale: No. Someone on the outside has to set up an
account for you and prepay in order for you to be
able to make calls.
JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Dale: I don't know. But they always tell you that the
call may be listened to or recorded at the
beginning of each call.
