Here's an effort to simultaneously oppose government bullying of some of the most vulnerable members of society, and reduce the amount of revenue being extorted from people to feed the State and its voluntary sector collaborators.
Companies prey on the need for families to stay in touch with their incarcerated loved ones with egregiously high phone rates — this needs to stop.
Telephone companies like Global Tel Link and Securus are pocketing millions of dollars from the families of prisoners.Through sky-high phone rates and unreasonable fees, these companies prey on the need from families to stay in touch with their incarcerated loved ones.
In 2013, the FCC took the huge step of capping the price of long-distance prison calls — but local calls to in-state prisons remain absurdly expensive.
Sign the petition urging the Federal Communications Commission to cap the cost of local prison phone calls at the lowest rate possible.
