Dane County Jail

Telephones

Interview with Todd


JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Todd: I had to ask and fill out a request because of my handicap, (needed use of a tty). It was granted pretty much as deputies got to know me.

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people?
Todd: I think you needed to buy a calling card for $50?

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Todd: I didn't, but I only asked to use the phone to set up visits.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Todd: I think they did. They said they did. It was hard to know what was true.
