Dear Friends, Family and Concerned Citizens,
We had one of our core members create a petition for us to sign regarding the increased phone rates(almost double) within the prison system. I ask that you take just a minute to sign this petition. There have been many negative affects of the contract MDOC underhandidly signed with PCS, on top of the nearly double rate of the call. There is a charge to open the account, a charge to close the account. If you don't use it in 90 days (such as due to someone being in solitary confinement or ill) they take all your money unless you close it. You can no longer have multiple people under one account, so everyone who wants to talk with an incarcerated loved must pay to open and close these accounts. This has currently resulted in my son having only 2 people on his calling list. It would cost each family member/friend 25.00 plus the nearly 4.00 set up fee to open an account.
Keeping loved ones connected, and communicating should be a very important part of MDOC's mission and work. It gives prisoners and their families hope and a better outlook. It is a proven fact that prisoners who stay connected overall do better within the prison setting.
This petition goes directly to your Senator and Representative. We have had many who have signed so far receive an email within a few days from their legislators with positive responses. Please help our voices be heard.

Please circulate this widely and ask other to sign the petition.
