Communities are broken. Prisoners and their families are silenced.
Help stop these outrageous charges!
Join the fight for communication rights.
- A 15-minute phone call from prison can cost up to $18.00. On average, calls from prison cost 24x more than a normal call.
- The price-gouging hits families: 2.7 million children have an incarcerated parent.
- Up to 60% of this cost is not for the actual call, it's for “commissions” that phone companies and prisons charge.
- Where this practice has been banned, prices have dropped by 30%-80%!
