Inmates required to pay for calls
JUNEAU - Alaska inmates are joining their counterparts in the rest of the nation: They will have to start paying for local phone calls.
The state's correctional facilities will begin charging $2 per call beginning Sept. 1.
Prisoners being booked won't be charged for phone calls.
The state will receive a portion of the revenue generated by the charge.
