1. No one should be overcharged simply because they accept collect calls from prisoners, all rates for prison phone calls should be no higher than standard rates from pay phones. This means no extra service charges or other hidden costs.

2. Accepting phone calls from prison in no way means that we abdicate our right to privacy. Our private phone calls with our friend and loved ones are not to be recorded or listened to by either the state or private corporations.

3. Neither the state nor the Department of Corrections should receive commisions off of prison phone calls.

4. No one should have to prepay or pay a deposit in order to recieve phone calls from prisoners.

5. Prisoners and those they call should have a say in what phone companies they use to make calls and what form of payment they wish to use.
