What’s the Fix?The abusive practices that have grown up around prisoner-initiated telephone calls can be simply resolved NOW by the FCC. The “FIX” has several components:
"[T]he FCC should: (1) establish a comprehensive, fair rate (derived from the lower rates outlined in the report, ' Inmate Calling Services - Interstate Call Cost Study' [The Wood Report]) for (2) all intra-state and inter-state (3) prisoner collect, pre-paid, and debit telephone calls that (4) covers legitimate costs, (5) provides a reasonable rate of return to prison phone providers, (6) eliminates 'commissions,' (7) forecloses alternative means to unjustifiably inflate the cost of prisoner phone calls, and (8) defers to state public service commissions to address requested cost adjustments – all toward the end of providing fair and reasonable rates on the widest possible range of prisoner-initiated telephone calls.
