Biennium 2014-2016
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.
