New litigation suggests prison phone companies have incentivized the elimination of in-person visits at prisons to spike their own profits.

Two lawsuits filed by an activist organization allege a conspiracy between county governments in Michigan and prison phone companies. This conspiracy has involved a “quid pro quo kickback scheme” that eliminated in-person visits at prisons to boost profits for the companies, the litigation claims. As part of the scheme, a portion of those profits were allegedly then shared with the county governments.

However, Genesee later switched providers from Securus to a different phone provider, a company that was then called Global Tel*Link Corporation , but later changed its name to ViaPath.
