End Kickbacks on Prison Calls

I PLEDGE TO BE A PRISON PHONE JUSTICE CHAMPION.

I support the CAMPAIGN FOR PRISON PHONE JUSTICE. As a Phone Justice Champion, I will ask the FCC and my state legislators to end kickbacks and price gouging by the U.S. Prison Telephone Industry. I believe that families and communities should come before profiteering and kickbacks.
