Putting a paywall between an incarcerated person and their ability to communicate with anyone, especially when the ability for the inmate to earn income to overcome that paywall is extremely limited, is at least predatory, and arguably cruel.
Edit @5โ: And to be clear, there would absolutely be situations where an inmate's ability to communicate with specific people should be restricted. The blanket restriction on communication with anyone is where the problem is.
