Inmate fails to cut cost of calls


Inmate fails to cut cost of calls

An inmate has failed to use human rights legislation to force a prison to charge him less for phone calls.

I think it is difficult to justify charging prisoners who earn wages which amount to children's pocket money more for their phone calls. However, I suspect that the legal challenge should have instead been mounted at private law and argued that prisoners are subject to an unfair contract term.
