    High phone bills

    Unfortunately, I live in a different state that where my son is incarcerated and the phone calls cost $18.00 for fifteen minutes.  It's costly, but until I can get to where he is I have to pay.

    I can't believe how much they get away with charging for these calls.... What state is your son in?

    my fiance is at a federal facility but he calls me pre paid and i think it's cheaper for them that way because i heard that the collect calls are high.plus they get 300 minutes a month anyway regardless to whether they call pre paid or collect so maybe your son should try doing the pre paid thing.

     He's in Pelican Bay then - you should look into Prison Calls Online.  They offer much discounted rates to out of state customers.

    My kids' dad is in Corcoran, and I live in Nevada, it's 11 bucks for 15 minutes, which is ok, I suppose, he calls once a week, but I will be glad when he is home! Terry Ann, you seem to know A TON about the system down there!  I am sure that many appreciate your knowledge! I always kind of figured that my ex got himself into the situations, he could get himself out :) I write, send packages and talk to him, and let him talk to and see my boys, but you are much more dedicated than I....glad there are women like you out there!
