Massachusetts becomes fifth state in nation to make prison calls free
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Im not from the USA. How much does a call usually cost? I guess it is different from state to state and prison.
16c / min roughly, but it's in conjunction with everything else that costs money, designed to extract cash from inmates outside families. Prisons are for-profit, slave labor camps in a lot of states.
