DOC/DJJ facilities to be made available to inmates and families & friends of
inmates; and collection of all prepay funds and monitoring of prepay accounts.
The Prepay payment option will allow families and friend of inmates to set-up a
prepaid account with the Contractor. Once a prepaid account is set-up, an inmate
may only call the party named on the prepay account and a deduction will be
made against available funds in the prepay account. When funds in the prepaid
account are depleted, the Contractor will notify the account holder.
These rates and payment options shall go into effect February 1, 2006.
