Council OKs inmate phone plan despite objections
Prigon contends the plan profits from inmate calls while others say nuisance calls harm residents. The approved contract with Sprint Payphone Services sets rates like regional jails and profits fund jail facilities. High tower and Napier opposed. A separate $43,933 contract with Black Box Network Services covers the phone system and data cabling for the new jail, due for occupancy in about three months.
