I'm not gonna comment on the substitution of video calls for in-person visitation nor the kickbacks that prisons get for the offsite calls. We all know that it's garbage, and that companies like Securus are disgusting.
I will say that the silver lining in all of this is that incarcerated peoples can finally still have visitation if someone is unable to physically come to them. Video calls have been commonplace for a quite a while, so maybe (though I'm not holding my breath) some jails and prisons will actually put them to good use.
Sometimes I want to believe that common decency will win.
