> Are prisoners not allowed to send and receive letters in the mail? That seems like a way around the phone call scam. Yes, writing letters, definitely a reasonable alternative to phone calls, no concerns about timeliness and even delivery. Not to mention that a significant portion of prisoners are illiterate or very weakly literate. I work in the telecom industry and the the prison phone scam drive me absolutely nuts because I know the actual costs so well. I could easily and profitably provide a system at a fraction of the costs these ripoff vendors charge, but of course then there would be nothing to split with the prison, the state, etc.
