Sacramento County Jail




Telephones

Interview with Zach

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Zach: If you were able to get dayroom and then able to get on a phone, yes. It is over-charged for just the hook-up fees, 5 bucks just to say hi, then hang up!!!

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people?
Zach: Over five bucks just to talk.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Zach: No, you had to call collect.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Zach: Yes, they say they do.

If you were arrested on a Thursday evening would the phone calls you made on Friday be free or collect?
