You have got to the core of the issue. Burdening communications between those incarcerated and their families with excessive telephone charges is contrary to humane principles and the public interest. Defending family values must include consideration for families impaired by jail or prison.
Right. Do not force children to “do the time”. Pretty sure they don’t deserve that.
At the heart of this issue are friends/family of elected Democrats who get the monopolies on phone calls out of prisons. Liberalism is all about the money.
