SBC Strikes Again

The charge for a collect call went up again. During the 8 months I've been in Yuba County Jail, the phone prices have increased twice. From $3.30 for the first minute and $0.30 for each additional minute, it is now jacked up to $4.85 for the first minute and $0.85 for each additional minute. A 15-minute collect call will cost $16.70.

That's the beauty of capitalism. It's all about the dollars.
