BATON ROUGE (AP) — The price tag for inmates to call home from Louisiana’s prisons and local jails will drop over the next couple of years, under a proposal approved Wednesday by the Public Service Commission after complaints that current rates are burdensome on poor families.
The five-member regulatory panel, which oversees telecommunications companies, unanimously agreed to cut the rates charged for prison calls by about 25 percent when a prisoner is calling family, legal counsel, clergy or certain government agencies like schools.
Surcharges on the calls will be removed.
