Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores speaks about controversy over Securus

Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores speaks about controversy over Securus Kelly Schaeffer worries there might come a time when she can t afford to talk to her teenage son in jail.  The 44-year-old mother estimates she spends $100 a month for her son to call her every other day from the Muskegon County Jail, which contracts with Securus Technologies to provide telecommunication services. Schaeffer says these conversations are central to maintaining their connection as her son serves a year-long jail sentence.  Schaeffer was laid off and out of work for most of the pandemic and managed the cost of calls on her husband s salary. But at $3.15 for a 15-minute call, plus fees to add money to her prepaid account and to accept collect calls from time to time, the charges add up fast. Schaeffer said she recently found a job, but money is still tight.

Toy shops blast government s derisory business grants as third lockdown threatens indie retailers – ToyNews

834 Views Independent toy retailers have blasted the UK government for under-serving the country’s small businesses, labelling the current grants offered to them in the face of yet more months of closure as “derisory.” The announcement of further restrictions and imposed nation-wide lockdowns across Scotland and England made this week, as well as plans to issue £4.6bn in relief funds for those in the retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors, has done little for the confidence of business owners now forced to shut their doors for a third time. Following the announcement on Monday, January 4th, Chancellor Rishi Sunak was quick to detail plans to supplement businesses with a relief fund that would offer small business owners grants of up to £9,000 amid the ongoing fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
