Oh, I must have missed that. Good for Frederick. Their new business of providing prison local phone numbers for families out of state to use was genius. That probably saves inmates so much money in long distance calls. I'd guess that the vast majority of inmates are incarcerated far from their home and family.
- dublinben 12y agoThe concept of an expensive "long distance call" has been eradicated in every other aspect of life. It's too bad that prisoners and their families are being taken advantage of by the service providers here.
- nocman 12y agoActually that's not entirely true. There are a lot of places in the U. S. at least that still have very poor to no cell phone coverage, but do have landlines. In most of these places, calling to anywhere but the area around the nearest town is a long distance call (with a commonly 7 - 12 cent per minute charge on top of the monthly local phone access charges) -- unless you don't consider that expensive. Believe me it can add up quickly.
