minus-squarePKscope@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up89·2 months agoThe cruelty is the point. GTL made money hand over fist on inmate phone calls for YEARS. I’m talking $15 for the first 3 minutes type of shit. Fuck this and fuck everyone who backed it.
minus-squareFenrisulfir@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·2 months agoWhat’s $15? 2 days worth of work in prison? So the equivalent of like $150-$600 for most people
minus-squarePKscope@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up27·2 months agoWay more than 2 days man. Most I ever made was $0.45/hr and that was the top pay. Most made $0.30/hr. So it could legit be a week of work for that 3 minute call.
