she has for the past 10 years, Dianne Jones spent 45 minutes on a city bus heading to the local WalMart.
Tim was in his 10th year of a 30-year prison sentence for an armed robbery he committed at age 17; he would not be able to see, let alone sit under or touch, a tree for the next 20 years. After Jones, her daughter, and her three grandchildren signed the card, she mailed it off, happy that Tim would know that his family was thinking of him.
In the outside world there are numerous companies offering free email accounts—Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Mail.com—but inside prisons companies charge a fee, a token JPay calls a “stamp,” to send each message. Each “stamp” covers only one page of writing. Want to send photos of a nephew’s graduation, a niece’s prom dress or a new baby? Each picture costs an additional stamp. A short video clip? That’ll be three stamps. With the postal service, stamp prices are fixed, but JPay’s stamp prices fluctuate.
This year, Jones decided against choosing from the 24 electronic birthday card designs that JPay offers. Instead, she waited for her son to call, paying 21 cents a minute to JPay’s parent company Securus, which provides phone services to Louisiana’s prisons. “I just talked to him on the phone and cried,” she says.
Prison is now a business, free slave labour and monopolies bribing the politicians and judges to make massive profits. This should never be privatised.

Capitalism at it's very worst. Anyone associated with this company & ANYONE earning profit from shareholdings, should be incarcerated themselves. This is nothing more than rort!
Not only that but they earn huge sums from forced prison labor
The United States of America is not a country. Its not a democracy. Its not a 'free' society. Its a corporation. 330 million souls reared on lies. Sold a bullshit notion of a dream. Bred to make money of their pain & suffering. Like, who the fuck swears an allegiance to a flag?
Holding communication with are loved ones for ransom.
