Stop The Contract

To:  MCI

------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've just kicked off our Public Education campaign to STOP THE CONTRACT between MCI and the Department of Corrections that double-taxes families and friends of loved ones behind bars, profiting over $26 million per year just from collect calling rates!  We're not going to be double-billed for New York State's or any other states' expenses!  Nor are we going to be bullied into submission to a monopoly that we don't support and damages our family relationships!

We want:
 -An end to the monopoly contract
-Fair and equitable rates
-A voice in prison telephone decision-making
-A choice of service provider
-To preserve safe and adequate family-based programming 

We don't want:
 -Abusively high rates
-Threats of disciplinary time served in Special Housing Units (SHU, or "the box) for using remote call-forwarding and other alternative service providers
-Blocks on our telephone service
-To pay the Department of Corrections (DOCs) bills
-Loss of Inmate/Family Services.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
