NAACP Victory against predatory prison phone rates…

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Lawton, OK NAACP

One of the final moves of the year by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2012 was to issue a statement that it would consider a rule to reduce and cap the exorbitant phone rates paid by incarcerated people and their families. Specifically, on December 28, 2012, the FCC announced a proposed rule to help the thousands of prisoners and their families who, it was found, generally pay significantly higher toll rates than those offered for the typical interstate long distance call, sometimes exceeding $3,00 per minute.
