N. WISCONSIN / UP - The Federal Communication Commission has voted on a rule that cuts the cost of prison and jail phone calls.  At large jails, 15-minute calls can cost more than $11, but the new rule will lower that to 90 cents.  At small jails, a 15-minute call that would cost more than $12 will be lowered to $1.35.  There will also be a per-minute rate cap for video calls.  Thursday’s vote comes after President Joe Biden signed a law last year that clarified that the FCC has the authority to regulate call rates at correctional facilities.
