 The Federal Communications Commission has voted on a rule that cuts the cost of prison phone calls. The FCC announced it will lower rates for incarcerated people at correctional facilities following a meeting on Thursday. At large jails, 15-minute calls can cost more than $11, but the new rule will lower that to 90 cents. At small jails, a 15-minute call that would cost more than $12 will now be lowered to $1.35. There will also be a per-minute rate cap for video calls.
