VAC will pay Space Provider compensation for Inmate Telephone Service based upon 55% commission rate for all
correctional facilities served by premise-based or off premise based communication systems on revenue for completed
local, intraLATA and interLATA collect, debit, prepaid and or advance pay calls as billed by VAC’s underlying
telecommunications providers, exclusive of calls where no billing and collection agreements exist.
The Utah Department of Corrections halfway houses that do not have premise based communications systems and have
coin payphone systems in place will receive a 45% commission rate for all completed local, intraLata and interLATA
calls.
