How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at each facility that they have a contract with, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls.

The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following three things 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.

For example, if your inmate is in federal prison, if you get a new local number then this will decrease your inmate’s phone call rate from $.21 per minute to only $.06 per minute.
