Next Tuesday September 9th the Dallas County Commissioners will vote to implement video only visitations at their facilities. The word is that they havent heard from anyone that the loss of face-to-face contact would be objectionable or have any negative consquences. Send them a message right now that speaks up for families! Video visitation while a step forward in technology it is a step back in regulating the industries making a profit on our counties most vulnerable populations. It is not and should not be the business of Dallas County to make a profit off the backs of the families of the incarcerated, nor to empower a private corporation to charge unregulated rates, we have finally made traction on telephone rates, only to see the new business of video visitation to quickly take its place. Video visitation is not an acceptable as a replacement for in person visits, video visitation keeps people in the cycle of poverty, video visitation is not conducive to the type of family involvement that helps to curb recidivism. They need to hear from you. Please take action for #phonejustice and stronger families and communities.
