How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at every facility that they are the exclusive phone provider for, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls.

The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following three things will determine how much an inmate phone call will cost: Where you are located; Where your inmate is located, What type of phone number you have.
