Duluth - Here is a run down, as seen on 'The Examiner' posted by a contributor who followed Troy Hayden's news about contacts for Arias - it explains a lot and to me, it's ripe for exploitations. The choice to exploit, of course, is up to the inmate. And while it is a money maker for the jail, I think it's two fold in design - the other half being inmates could rack up infractions which could net them more time due to disciplinary actions for those infractions.
1. The phone calls are NOT recorded. (So in the case of leaking the juror's names, she didn't have to worry about being caught.) (Arpaio indicated they were recorded, hence catching Arias telling the teens about fake I.D.)
2. No ID is required to talk to a prisoner. No attempt to find out if someone is using their own name is done. (WOW)
3. People just sign up on the website with their address and credit card. Then the prisoner decides if they want to talk to you or not. this insures stolen/mommy and daddy's credit cards can be used. (Seems as though that's a revolving door for crime)
4. A 20-minute call costs only $5.00
5. Jodi was allowed to book 27 calls the Saturday after the mistrial was called. There is no limit set by the jail. (I don't imagine there would be a limit, however, that leaves the door wide open for anyone)
6. Despite the sheriff's news release, they can't stop Jodi's video calls until it goes through a process, which will take 2-3 days, and then there is no guarantee it will happen, is there? That may become an ACLU issue. Arias' fan club must have access
