Budget Round | Caboose Bill |
Category | Other spending or initiatives |
Region | None |
Description
Eliminates from the general fund revenue estimate the revenue from charges on inmate telephone calls and provides the agency funding to pay the costs of security equipment associated with the inmate telephone system, thereby lowering the rate that inmates and their families have to pay for phone calls, effective December 1, 2015. The lower rates could result in more frequent contact with family members, which is important in helping inmates adjust to prison and is a factor in reducing recidivism. |
