Lake County Jail

Telephones

Interview with Bee


JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Bee: You could use the phones if you ever got to one. There were 4 phones on one wall post and the majority of the time only 1 worked. Then there was no time limit per person. Of course when you call someone the phone hangs up after so long but that same person could use the phone all over again even if it was a line behind them.

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people?
Bee: Depending on where you were calling and for how long you stayed on the phone the cost varied. The person you were calling got charged. The person could only receive your call if they set up a call package on their phone through a specific company.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Bee: You could buy phone cards but everyone I saw had a problem using theirs. They work great for a prison system but the county phones work a little different.

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Bee: I am not sure but I'm sure they did. I'm sure they wanted to know what you were talking about especially if it pertains to them.
