[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 743438, member: 18958"] Telephone calls from prison to outside is a huge business. Loved ones of Incarcerated prisoners pay a fortune of money for their people to call them. I do not know how the financial arrangement works between the communications company and departments of corrections, but I would assume there are millions of dollars that change hands, which is a huge disincentive to allow in other, better, more humane means of communication. I am unaware of lawsuits in this area but I would think that this is a free speech issue. That the Constitution would protect the rights of prisoners and their families in particular to have a mechanism to speak to each other, and that to deprive this (by making such communication onerous and exceptionally costly) would be, should be a transgression of individual rights on a collective scale. I will try to remember to look into this, to see what kinds of class action lawsuits have been pursued about this. [/QUOTE]
