Interview with Girliegirl, Paul and Tyler


JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Girliegirl: No

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people?
Girliegirl: Collect only
Paul: collect calls
Tyler: You call collect. If you are calling a cell phone the person must setup an account at vconnect.com and put money on the account via credit card. Then each call is $3 plus charge per minute.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Girliegirl: No
Paul: yes and no
Tyler: NO

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Girliegirl: I'm sure they did. We only got to use the phone 3 times a week and for 10 minutes each time.
Paul: Probably!!!!
Tyler: Yes, the phone indicates that calls may be monitored.

how do i let an inmate know that i set up a v-connect account for her to use to call me?
