| The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) extends telephone privileges to federal inmates to help them maintain ties with their families and other community contacts. Ordinarily, the inmate pays for the calls; but in some cases the receiving party pays. Limitations and conditions may be imposed upon an inmate's telephone privileges to ensure they are consistent with the BOP's correctional management responsibilities. A notice is posted next to each telephone advising inmates that calls are monitored. Unmonitored calls to attorneys are permitted in certain circumstances. Third-party or other alternative call arrangements are not permitted; this ensures inmates do not have the opportunity to use phones for criminal or other inappropriate purposes. There are 3 ways to receive calls from an inmate at a Federal Prison. The least expensive way is the Debit Call. - Collect Call (billed to your phone bill)
- Prepay Collect Call (prepaid account with Value Added Communications)
- Debit Call (Inmate purchases phone cards)
The collect and prepay rates vary by location. The debit call rates are standardized and are the least expensive. Local calls (calls from a federal inmate to a local number) are billed at .06 per minute (.90 for a 15-minute call). Long distance calls (calls to any number in the U.S. other than a local number) are billed at .23 per minute ($3.45 for a 15-minute call). Most federal prisons limit federal inmates to 300 minutes per month of phone calls. At the local calling rate of .06 per minute, those 300 minutes would cost $18 per month. At the long distance rate of .23 per minute, those same 300 minutes would cost $69 per month. Having a local number for the inmate to call home would save $51 a month on the cost of 300 minutes worth of phone calls.
