Inmates in Idaho prisons can now speak with their families via video, after the Idaho Department of Correction last month ceased in-person visits in an effort to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.
Video visitations are available to inmates at all of the department's facilities, according to Idaho Department of Correction Director Josh Tewalt. Inmates receive one free video call a month; after that, the cost is $4.99 for a 15-minute call. The department worked with CenturyLink and the corrections communications provider JPay to provide the service.
