Interview with Ryan, Alex and George

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Ryan: YES
Alex: Yes WHEN THEY WERE WORKING. They didn't seem to be in a rush to fix them if they weren't. There are 6 telephones per tier and at any given time, only about half were in working condition. With 42 men on a tier and a 20 minute time limit per call, it was sometimes a full day before you could make a call. Better hope someone's there to answer.
George: YES

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Ryan: COLLECT CALLS ONLY
Alex: It was $3.95 plus .20 per minute. I ran up a $800 phone bill.
George: COLLECT

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Ryan: NO
Alex: No phone cards were available.
George: NO

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Ryan: YES
Alex: YES. No, there wasn't a guard actually there but when you place your call, an automated voice tells you that all calls are recorded and screened.
George: YES

How do I put money on an inmates account for the phone call thing? I'm not sure if I asked that right, but I hope that someone will be able to help me in this matter. Thank you

My son has called from jail. We cannot get the call to go through unless we join something called v-connect. We do not wish to set up an account, and do not have a credit card. Why can't he just call us collect and we will accept the charges?

If somebody is in there for a DUI how long does it take for them to get out? So you have to pay a fine? And what's the phone number to be able to contact them?
