Illinois starts free monthly phone program for inmates to boost family connections.
Illinois has launched a pilot program giving incarcerated individuals 775 free domestic phone minutes monthly, starting November 3, 2025, through the "Voices of Connections" initiative.
Managed by the IDOC and backed by First Lady MK Pritzker, the program allows calls via a tablet-based app when connected to Wi-Fi, aiming to improve family ties and support rehabilitation.
Unused minutes don’t roll over, but unspent funds will be redistributed during the pilot, which runs through June 2025.
Officials will assess outcomes to determine potential for expansion.
