952 Glanoli WilliamsPlease lower the phone rates. We need to be able to tslk to our incarcerated love ones without it eating our pockets and most inmates come from low- income families.

955 Danielle A. ShumanI think it is very important for individuals who are incarcerated to be able to communicate with their families, particullarly their children. The amount being charged is unreasonable.

971 Shannon HoganI really wish they would understand how important it is to keep the family unification so that our prisoners would have a better chance of not returning. The phone is a large help in this endeavor but due to the high cost some of us are unable to provide this as an option.

974 AnonymousHaving an inmate in prison is a financial strain by just trying to have the extra money to visit and help them with minimal prison "luxuries" and then to rob us with the cost of calls is ridiculous......Does the State of Illinios forget these people are still HUMAN!

999 slug dawsonI really think this is really riduculous thing for the state to do to women or men who is trying to keep the family together. I wish everything was not always about money but that is just a wish
1000 Sandra MillerIt is about time that we all have a voice in what the "consolidated" phone companies are doing to the general population!!! Especially considering some of these inmates have been incarcerated for minimal charges or those that have committed serious crimes. These men and women deserve to have contact with the outside world if they will ever be able to re-enter society. Shame on those phone companies. Shame.
