Evercom Informative - Evercom inmate collect calls

Review by losthutch on 2009-06-27
I have a prepaid account in winnebago county. costs me 50 bucks. what I want to know is how many phone calls I get for that and the duration?i also would like to know is if I get charged when my girlfriend calls me and I pick up and the phone company says you have a collect call from?and she can say a few words before they ask you to accept and I don't do I get charged for that?because it seems that sometimes I get more calls for my 50bucks than other times.

That old trick of talking over the operator's voice on collect calls still works? lol!

All these inmate calling system people need to start their own website to do complaints.
I'm sorry, but I really don't care if you can talk to someone that is costing me money (ie. tax dollars), sits around watching tv, has an exercise period, 3 squares a day, no responsibilities, etc. get the picture???
I think that once a convicted prisoner is released, the should have to REPAY the cost of their incarceration to the taxpayers. Including phone calls, attorney fees, and everything else we taxpayers had to pay for.

Yeah jkt, as if it isn't hard enough for them to be reintroduced back into society as it is...I can see the headlines now "Man Robs Bank to Pay Back Prison Fees".

JKtshff.. I absolutely agree with you!
What really pi$$es me off is that at the age of 69, I'm supporting some schmuck kid who couldn't keep his crap straight!

Right now I have a 42 year old nephew who has had several years in prison for drug dealing and several drunk driving convictions...
As he was sitting with me today he pulled out his wallet to show me the wonderful new food bank card he just got worth $200 a month and his Michigan Medicade card for which he pays nothing...
(you and I do)...
Next week we have to take him to his parole officer because he can't get a driver's license...
Us old blastards can't get a break!

Not only that Old F...but they have all kinds of programs to help them get "a second chance" by getting them jobs, and programs for free training...while the people who have been law abiding, tax paying citizens can't get a job.

See ya later... now that I got my blood pressure up I'm gonna sit in my lounger and Stew the rest of the night!
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-06-27:
Yeah...it's best you just relax a bit, watch some Michael Jackson videos then get a good night's sleep.

Goodnight!

Posted by C2O on 2009-06-27:
I don't think so DB.
Posted by ejack053824 on 2009-06-27:
I usually fart in my lounger and the Pugs growl at me for 5 minutes. LOL!!
Posted by BokiBean on 2009-06-28:

Losthutch, have you contacted Evercom directly?
Posted by superbowl on 2009-06-28:
Losthutch, your post is one of hundreds posted about Evercom. No one is being an idiot, it's just that this subject has been beat up around here for years. And Evercom does little to correct the problems.
Posted by BokiBean on 2009-06-28:
lost, how many phone calls you can get for 50 bucks is going to be something only the company can answer. This is a web-based complaint site. You're asking for specifics.
Posted by old fart on 2009-06-28:
LostHutch... this may sound cold but "do you really think most of us care"??

You wouldn't have the problem if you got your $h*t together and got out of jail...

LH, of is right, the idiot is the one who is incarcerated.
