ACLU of Connecticut ACLU-CT Legislative Testimony

For people who are incarcerated, maintaining familial and community bonds is crucial to mental health, physical health, community health, and community safety.

The ACLU-CT strongly supports Senate Bill 972 and the push to make prison phone calls free to the families who depend on them.

Prison phone calls should be free

Connecticut should pass a law to make that happen.
