Can an inmate make phone calls?

Inmates have access to telephones located in their respective living areas. They are reminded that all calls are collect calls only, and as such, consideration should be given to those receiving the calls. If the phones are abused and calls are made to anyone which are threatening, including calling and harassing witnesses or victims, or violation of telephone company rules, a block is placed on the telephone number and/or phone privileges may be suspended.
