Hi Amalia,
This is a really lovely idea. With the major costs of
incarceration, a lowered cost of outgoing phone calls seems really small
adjustment for a potentially large impact. Feeling more connected to the
outside world, to family and friends, could improve prisoner behavior overall
and lead to lower infraction rates among the prisoner population.
Just my $0.02 =)
