Law Enforcement Professionals Support A Range of
Prisoner Calling Options at Reasonable Prices
Law Enforcement and Corrections Professionals have long understood that it is important for people who are incarcerated to maintain ties with their families and their communities. Of course, incarceration is destructive of these relationships, but the more contact there is, the better the chances of success and reintegration upon release. See, e.g., Federal Bureau of Prisons[PS5264.06 TELEPHONE REGULATIONS FOR INMATES]. These professionals also recognize the utility of telephones as a control mechanism. Prisoners who fail to comply with facility rules may have telephone privileges reduced or suspended, creating a powerful incentive for good conduct.
But most importantly, law enforcement and corrections professionals realize that profiteering on people in custody is unseemly, that it conveys the appearance of impropriety, and that it raises serious ethical concerns. These are some of the reasons that organizations such as the American Correctional Association , the National Sheriffs' Association, The Association of State Correctional Administrators and others, were among the first to denounce profiteering on prisoner telephones.
