Are you allowed to make calls from a fire camp?

Yes. The Fire Camps are minimum security facilities within the CDCR, the California state prison system. The inmates are absolutely allowed to make phone calls seven days per week. These inmates actually serve the counties that they are in by fighting fires and providing selfless forestry safety. They are trusted to be in the public domain while serving their sentence. Their model behavior is awarded by receiving all the privileges afforded inmates. The phone service is Global*Tel Link-Offender Connect. The calls are about $5.00 unless they are local, then they are about $2.00. InmateAid's service provides local phone lines for all the CDCR Fire Camps.
