New York state will make prison calls free starting August 1 to boost family ties and lower recidivism.
New York state will make phone calls free for inmates in its prisons starting August 1, aiming to improve family connections and reduce recidivism.
Currently, inmates receive three free 15-minute calls weekly; additional calls cost 2.4 cents per minute.
This policy, which aims to strengthen ties between inmates and their families, is expected to enhance rehabilitation and public safety.
The cost will be covered by the state's corrections department budget.
New York City jails and Connecticut have already implemented similar policies.
