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? Boru

Quote:Because we already pay for their food, clothing, medical care and housing......That's not an argument. Because we pay for one set of things. That doesn't mean we shouldn't also pay for another thing. Quote:You think we should pay for their beer, liquor and Cuban cigars too?That's clearly fallacious because just because we pay for one thing doesn't mean we have to for anything. Letting them use the phone for free is a pretty freaking modest. Quote:Maybe a Caribbean or South of France vacation as well...... Doing time is hard work!Same fallacy as above Quote:They DESERVE it - right?Letting them use the phone for free is not a matter of deserving. It's a matter of civility and common decency.

"Change was inevitable"
Nemo sicut deus debet esse! “No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?” –SHIRLEY CHISHOLM 
I realize that we've had cell phones for awhile now, but what the hell ever happened to hand-written letters? That was good enough for centuries, if one was lucky enough to get the necessary materials for letters. Cellphones are an unnecessary frippery, in my book. Spoiled fucking prisoners get more than a lot of poor people do!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
Phone calls from prisoners often cost the person getting the call a lot of money. Some of those on the outside are afraid not to take the call. It's not just about a prisoner getting 'frills'. A phone call has another person on the other end...and that's who typically ends up paying, one way or another.
