From the article: “Personal visits and telephone calls reduce recidivism." If "chit chatting" all day means they don't come back why would anyone be against it

  The companies and people that run the prisons and the prison phone systems are both very happy with a system where a) people spend a lot of time in jail and go back frequently and b) spend a lot of money on hyper-expensive phone calls since both of those things earn them very significant money. The question should probably be: Why should any sane person in the prison industry be for it?

  They get commissions on the calls, which often directly benefit the employees.
