HELP US END MASS INCARCERATION The Prison Policy Initiative uses research, advocacy, and organizing to dismantle mass incarceration. We’ve been in this movement for 22 years, thanks to individual donors like you.

Can you help us sustain this work?

Thank you,

U.S. map showing the highest jail phone rates in every state

Data Source: See the Methodology section of State of Phone Justice: Local jails, state prisons and private phone providers for complete data sourcing. (Graph: Peter Wagner and Alexi Jones, 2019)

This graph originally appeared in State of Phone Justice: Local jails, state prisons and private phone providers.

As of November 2018, in more than half of states, the highest in-state 15 minute call costs more than $10, and in 15 states it costs over $15. (Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Vermont do not have jails and are therefore not displayed).
