On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced the adoption of an order decreasing telephone call rates for incarcerated individuals and their families. The press release noted that reasonably priced communication services are critical for jailed persons, who are forced to accept whatever the service provider charges. Previously, the FCC explained, the rates were typically determined on a “monopoly basis.”
In large part, the FCC’s order adopts reforms the body proposed in August 2020 to address the “egregiously high rates and charges.” Last October, the Federal Trade Commission intervened on behalf of inmates who were defrauded by service providers offering fake unlimited call plans.
