Phone Calls Could Get Really Expensive for Nearly 2 Million People Soon
Update: 2025-10-30
Description
**Summary:**The Federal Communications Commission has raised the price limits on phone and video calls from jails and prisons, with rates increasing by up to 83% for nearly two million incarcerated individuals. This change, set to take effect in April 2027, could cost families and inmates an extra $215 million annually and significantly reduce the number of affordable minutes. Critics argue that this will negatively impact family relationships and rehabilitation efforts, while some senators deem the delay unlawful.
