I just got a call from prison

It was a collect call and I didn't recognize the name.

It scared the bejibbers outta me because it was so late at night and I've never gotten a call from a correctional facility before.


Just wanted to share. I should probably turn off my phone and go to bed. lol

See now if you'd had an Amy Winehouse ringtone it wouldn't have been such a traumatic experience.

we've received a few collect calls from the local jail here....I accepted the charges one time and had about a 15 minute conversation with a dude before he realized he had no clue who he was talking to...with phone calls at a premium, you'd think they'd carefully dial the number falloff

That actually raises an interesting question: what is Amy Winehouse's ringtone?

hmmm

the premium I'm talking about is the time they're alloted to make calls...not a price...

Don't look at me.
I always trade in my phone-calls for cigarettes.

I kinda did.

The recording said that if I did not want to receive calls from this prison anymore I should hang up now.

But because I was so freaked out, I just pressed a bunch of buttons until my phone hung up.

I think it's a scam. There's something they can do with payphones in prison.

I think it's something where they run up long distance charges on your number. If they try to do that with my phone, the jokes on them because it's a pay as you go cell with very little money on it. So far, no unknown calls/charges have showed up on my phone.
