Why shouldn’t they be allowed cell phones, at least as a privilege? They shouldn’t be allowed to harass anyone, but they’re people. JPay and other predatory companies put an undue burden on families just trying to talk to their loved ones (who, let’s face it, may not be guilty) in the pen. There are even worse companies that pretend to be places where you can send money or put money on a phone card for a loved one but once you get to the fine print it’s just a scam. That dries up if you just allow folks the opportunity to talk to their family during their downtime.

But fuck them, I guess. People are in jail to be punished and if they don’t have the maximum amount of punishment 24x7 along with their families then we’re not really getting our money’s worth.

Or maybe he’s talking on a butt phone.
