We recommend that inmates talk to the counselor at their facility and try to find out. You can also try to make an arrangement so that only a percentage of your commissary funds are taken, instead of all your funds take at one time.

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.
