WA: lower prison collect-call rates

From the Olympian:

State's inmates get a break while keeping in touch

After a day's work in the woods, Cedar Creek Corrections Center inmate Cory Delosh likes to place an occasional telephone call to Puyallup.

"Let my mom know I didn't cut my leg off with a chain saw," joked Delosh, 21.

Collect calls placed by Delosh and other inmates... now cost much less as part of a new state Department of Corrections program...


I knew Cory. In the picture accompanying the article, he looks happier now.

Yeah for the DOC. However someone needs to go after Qwest to lower the price for inmate phone providers to place those collect calls on the Qwest phone bills. That's an extra $1.20 per call that the inmates could be saving.
