Interview with Ben

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Ben: Yes there was a phone in every cell I was in, and if nobody was on it or if it wasn't broken then I was able to make a couple phone calls.

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Ben: I think it was same charges as a long distance or collect call, but Im not sure on the exact details on the charges.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Ben: While in Lubbock Co Jail, I was moved a few times to different Counties, which two of those Counties did let you buy phone cards with your commencery money so your friends or family you are calling wont be billed.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Ben: I have no idea, they say they did, but Im not sure.
