To: your members of Congress
Staying connected to family and friends is one of the best things for people inside and for the neighbors they come home to. A 2022 law passed with support from both parties let the FCC cap the price of prison and jail calls; the caps set in 2024 were raised in October 2025. We ask Congress and the FCC to keep calls affordable — and to keep in-person visits from being replaced by paid video.

When it reaches the goal it’s handed to the officials named above at a public meeting, and their answer is posted online. This is a petition to your elected officials — like the clipboard at the courthouse door. It does not put anything on the ballot; in Arkansas and most states that takes ink signatures from registered voters. Names are never shown publicly. County Commons — an independent, nonpartisan public-records project.
