- $3.15/15 mins for a domestic phone call
- $15/20 mins video call/teleconference if your jail/prison has them and you/someone else are willing to fork out that much (You may be there a while and so have to stretch whatever money you have left as far as possible)
- I don't even want to know how much for an international call
- $1 for a single pack of ramen
- $5 for a 5oz bag of freeze-dried coffee
And even if you have the money, you'd better hope someone picks up when you get your phonecall and/or that you know people's addresses or phone-numbers offhand.
