If you are sent to a prison to serve out a sentence, there are no free calls. The calls are initiated by the inmate, but they must have money in their account or money on a phone plan on the outside. If you are going to speak with him more than once a week, check with our Discount Telephone Service to see if additional savings can be gotten with a new number.
