"The free calls program has been wonderful!! I'm the only one supporting my son in there, and it's hard. This has honestly been invaluable. He's been able to call his son and other family members only because of this program. It's taken a bit of pressure off me, and I appreciate that immensely!! It's a great thing you're doing, I am very thankful, and I know my son is thankful!! Thank you so much for doing this, I don't think anything needs improved!!"

"I've been on both ends of the phone - I just got out on the 29th of June. It was amazing to have the free phone calls once a week, they really made a difference. Especially when money was short because of covid. The video calls were awesome ...We couldn't believe when they posted about the free calls. We thought that was amazing. It definitely made a difference in our daily lives to keep us positive so thank you very much."
-Beth, La Vista Correctional Facility, CO

"I greatly appreciated the free visitation service that was provided during this unforeseen pandemic. With the facilities closed to visitors and a lot of people out of work it made a huge difference knowing that I could still talk with my loved ones without having to worry about how much I could afford to spare for visits that week. It also made a difference to my incarcerated loved one knowing that their family was safe. I really am thankful for the services that are provided and I think y'all are doing an amazing job"
-Krista, Douglas County Jail, GA

"Thank you GTL for providing inmates with free phone calls during COVID-19 pandemic. It was a relief for me to communicate with my son during this stressful time. As a mother you worry about your children no matter how old they are, what they have done or where they are. So to receive phones from my incarcerated son letting me know that he was ok and the facility that he is in was doing everything possible to keep the inmates safe. Thank you!"
