I recently went to jail for the first time (San Joaquin county jail), I couldn’t even call my mom, and by the time she paid 61$ by card» they said it would take 48hours to go through. Well I ended up getting out way sooner then expected. They wouldn’t refund the money and now my boyfriend is in the same jail and still can’t call my moms number. I think the governor of California is looking like a money hungry pig and they should have regular old pay phones in every county jail(god for bid some one smuggled in 50cents) 1-800-collect every one knows that number and should you choose to accept the collect call it shows up on a regular phone bill. County jails are gonna keep *** people off and criminals are more than half of the good old U.S.A population! Give inmates the right to use 1-800-collect. Sincerely pissed from Manteca, lathrop and Sacramento (*** the almighty dollar) and them snobby *** guards at county "put me in the hole cuz they said I talk too much!" I still talk but not on the wanna be payphones they got in there/somebody call the terminator...lol
