Funds in the Customer's account may be used for payment of Collect calls placed by Inmates to only those telephone numbers specified by the Customer. Establishment and maintenance of an account are required to complete Collect calls to Customers served by local exchange carriers with which the Company does not have an existing direct billing and collection agreement. Upon request, the Company will provide the Customer with a personal identification number (PIN) and a toll-free number to call in order to set up the account information, including the permissible numbers that the Inmate may call.

Initial and additional deposits into the account may be made by cash, check, credit card, or Western Union. Transaction fees will apply for credit card and check by phone transactions. All deposits will be subject to applicable taxes and fees. When an Inmate places a call, the Customer is informed of both the caller's identity and the account balance prior to accepting the call. Customers may also review their account online or contact the Company’s toll-free customer service number for account balance information at any time. If the account balance is insufficient, calls placed to the numbers specified by the Customer will not be completed until the account is replenished. Account holders may seek a refund of unused balances by contacting customer service. Unless applicable law or a Correctional Institution requires a different practice, accounts will become inactive after 180 consecutive days of inactivity or non-use. Account holders will have 180 days from the date of the last call charged to the account to request a refund of any unused account balance. If an account is used at any point during the inactivity period, the 180-day inactivity period will restart. If the account holder provides sufficient contact information to the Company and affirmatively agrees to receive notifications by text message and/or email from the Company, the Company will provide text message and/or email notice to the account holder 30 days prior to the scheduled expiration of the account. Upon receipt of a verified refund request during the 180- day period, any remaining balance in an account will be refunded to the Customer after deducting any call charges, applicable taxes, and transaction fees incurred during the current billing cycle.

The transfer of funds is managed by Correctional Institution personnel or through a direct interface between the commissary system and/or booking account and the Inmate phone system. The Prepaid Debit Account is associated with the Inmate’s Personal Identification Number (PIN.) When the Inmate places a call, he/she has the option of making a Collect call or using funds from the Prepaid Debit Account. Once the Prepaid Debit Account is selected, the Inmate enters the PIN and called telephone number. All deposits to the account are paid to and handled by the entity managing the account, e.g., jail management system, Institution, commissary, etc. The Company receives payment from the Institution; it does not engage in direct monetary transactions with the Inmate. The Company's system automatically informs the Inmate of the available usage balance remaining in the Prepaid Debit Account and provides prompts to place the call by entering the destination telephone number. Usage is deducted from the available balance in the account on a real-time basis as the call progresses. Unless state law or a Correctional Institution requires a different practice, any unused funds in a Prepaid Debit Account are refunded to the Inmate upon release of the Inmate from the Correctional Institution. Refunds are issued by the entity managing the account, which depending on the specific arrangements, is either the Company, the commissary, the Correctional Institution itself or its agent, unless otherwise directed by state law. All security measures and Inmate calling restrictions as set forth elsewhere in this tariff are also applicable for any calls made using a Prepaid Debit Account. 3.7.2 Rates and Charges A.
