Offender Telephone Services gives Texas Inmates 240 minutes a MONTH to make phone calls to the 10 family members/friends on the offenders visitation list. That's only 24 minutes per MONTH per family member/friend. We are petitioning to [email protected] to ask that they consider giving us MORE minutes. Thank you

The emails I receive from families struggling to maintain basic human connections remain heavy and exhausting to read. I have been reaching out to the department consistently but the silence from their office is a clear message about where these families rank on their list of priorities. We keep pushing because isolation cannot be the standard for our loved ones.

Reaching this level of support makes the long nights of fighting for these minutes feel worth the effort. It is exhausting work but seeing this many people demand change keeps me going.

Phone calls are BIG profits for these companies. If a petition does not work maybe a boycott will. Some times money just speaks louder than words. Sometimes we have to sacrifice to make change.

240 mins is not enough to keep a family together. My kids need to hear their dad voice more than a couple times a week. Fix this now.

THEY ARE LITERALLY MAKING US PAY TOO MUCH FOR CALLS. JUST LET THEM TALK TO THEIR FAMILY. IT IS RIDICULOUS.
