New York Governor Chooses Not to Gouge Prisoners' Families on Phone Calls

Skelly catches a news report out of New York announcing that the newly sworn-in Governor has reversed a policy of imposing a high surcharge (with a hefty kickback to the state) on collect calls inmates make to their families. I'm so used to newly elected politicians making things worse for prison inmates, I hardly know what to make of this news. Nicely done, Governor. Nicely done.
