BREAKING 🚨 In a move that protects financial interests and ignores the law and will of Congress, the FCC just delayed the implementation of new regulations that would lower prison and jail call rates by 2 years. The rules were set to save families over $500 million per year. Shameful.

Did you know that families supporting their incarcerated loved ones bear the financial burden of restitution, canteen expenses, quarterly packages, family visits, food sales, and travel costs—including flights and hotels—spending an average of $20,000 to $25,000 each year?

Did you know youth incarceration has fallen by 58% since 2000? Youth prisons have closed nationwide as fewer young people have been arrested.
