I have to pay for mine. I don' t pay - phone quits working. Why should a convict get a bonus?
Because incarceration, not prohibitive phone rates, is their punishment. You pay for their food, their clothing, their medical care, and their housing (you also benefit from their legalized slave labour, but that’s another topic). Why SHOULDN’T you pay for their phone calls?

You think we should pay for their beer, liquor and Cuban cigars too?
Maybe a Caribbean or South of France vacation as well...... Doing time is hard work!
They DESERVE it - right?
