If the inmate has a garnishment, then money to pay them will be taken from the inmate’s bank account.

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