Telephones
Interview with DC, Keith, Joe, Heidi, Dillon, Kami and Linda
JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
DC: Yes, payphones were located in each pod.
Keith: As long as there is not a prison pick up (chain)
the New Jail gets to use the phone 24 hours a
day. Green Bay and the Old Jail have the phones
go off at 12 midnight at come back on around 7
am. Collect calls only.
Joe: yes
Heidi: yes
Dillon: Yes
Kami: yes
Linda: Yes they shu off at 9 though
JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
DC: Back when I went, I think it was 2.55 per call. I
never called home though.
Keith: $3.80 per 15 minute phone call.
Joe: collect.
Heidi: 4.10 per call
Dillon: Unknown never completed a card.
Kami: idk
Linda: Too many to count its ridiculous
JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
DC: No, just someone had to accept collect calls.
Keith: Only of you called one number alot. They
restrict the number of times you can call each
number. But they will sell you one of their $50
phone cards to allow more calls to overcalled
numbers.
Joe: you can.
Heidi: no
Dillon: Unknown
Kami: no
Linda: No
JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
DC: No, but be advised phone calls are limited to 15
minutes. After that, they automatically disconnect
the call.
Keith: Of course. They ask you to say your full name
when make a call. Then they can use it against
you in their court of law.
Joe: sure,they all do.
Heidi: no
Dillon: Unknown but I am sure they did.
Kami: they say they do
Linda: Yes
