B.O.P. is extending minutes to 400 for the holidays

I heard a while back that the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) is extending the 300 minutes a month limit to 400 in the months of November and December.
Anyone else hear about this?

I heard this as well. My understanding is that they do this for the months of November & December--maybe it's a holiday thing....

I wish--it's a challenge maintaining a relationship on so few minutes!

Yes, I heard the same information. Its a shame that its not unlimited like it was a few years back. Anything to make life more difficult for the inmate and their families

i wish,, but nop,,,,,in fact, we tried to fight that at one time, and bop told me the reason what they did this cause they were getting to many people inmates rather fighting and bulling others over the phone, as i pointed out, that is not going to stop the fighting,, the system is about survial, and the phone wont make no diffrent one way or another,
