Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Family Telephone Connection
Protection Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds that:
(1) The telephone is the primary method by which
individuals correspond and maintain contact with family members
who are incarcerated in correctional institutions.
(2) Except for emergency purposes, family members are not
allowed to call people incarcerated in correctional
institutions; incarcerated persons are typically allowed to
call family members and other pre-approved individuals only
through payphones physically located on the premises of
correctional institutions.
(3) Inmate telephone service in correctional institutions
often is limited to collect calling.
(4) Regardless of whether the prisoners' calls are placed
collect or through a debit account, the prisoners' family
members typically pay for the calls, either through their
telephone bills, in the case of collect calls received from
prisoners, or by making deposits directly into prisoners' debit
accounts.
(5) Innocent citizens are paying excessive telephone
charges simply due to having a family member or loved one who
is incarcerated.
(6) The rates for calls from correctional institutions are
some of the highest rates in the United States, with some per-
minute charges reaching $1 and service or connection charges of
$3.95 per call.
(7) Information compiled by the Congress and the Federal
Communications Commission shows that the high rates are due in
part to the lack of competition between telephone companies
that provide long distance inmate telephone service to
correctional institutions.
(8) There are no competitive forces providing incentives
for those carriers to lower prices or operate efficiently
because, unlike the mass market, only one carrier is typically
permitted to provide long distance inmate telephone service
within each correctional institution.
(9) High calling rates also are due in part to commissions
that carriers pay to correctional institution administrators
for the exclusive right to provide long distance inmate
telephone service in a correctional facility. In some cases,
such commissions account for 50 percent or more of the total
charges.
(10) The collection of such commissions by correctional
institution administrators and state departments of correction
based upon interstate telecommunications revenues is a burden
on interstate commerce.
(11) Due to the lack of competition for telephone services
within correctional institutions, families of people in prison,
many of whom have low incomes, cannot choose the long distance
carrier with the lowest calling rates and must pay the
excessive rates charged by the carrier having the exclusive
right to provide long distance service to the correctional
institution from which the call originates.
(12) It is the policy of the United States to ensure that
all Americans are afforded just and reasonable communications
services, including those families that pay rates for inmate
telephone service.
(13) It is clear from various studies that maintaining
frequent and meaningful communications between people who are
incarcerated and family members is key to the successful social
reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. Such
contact reduces recidivism and facilitates rehabilitation,
which in turn reduces crime and the future costs of
imprisonment.
(14) Frequent communications between incarcerated persons
and family members is burdened, and in some cases, prevented,
by excessive inmate telephone service rates. Excessive inmate
telephone service rates thus weaken the family and community
ties that are necessary for successful reentry into society by
persons who were formerly incarcerated and the reduction in
crime resulting from successful reentry.
(15) The Commission has the expertise and authority to
regulate inmate telephone service. Because parties to
Commission rulemaking proceedings have raised issues regarding
its authority to implement meaningful relief for excessive
inmate telephone service rates, Congress finds it necessary and
appropriate to reaffirm that the Commission has the authority
to implement the types of relief set forth in this Act.

SEC. 3. RESTRICTIONS ON THE PROVISION OF INMATE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

(a) Definitions.--Section 226(a) of the Communications Act of 1934

Family Telephone Connection Protection Act of 2005 or in a new
rulemaking proceeding, the following types of regulation of
inmate telephone service, all of which are within the
Commission's jurisdiction and authority:

order that prisoners have a choice of such providers.
''(2) Scope.--The regulations adopted by the Commission
shall be technologically neutral and shall not jeopardize
legitimate security and penelogical interests. To the extent
the Commission regulations reduce or eliminate the revenue

shall not be considered as jeopardizing or otherwise affecting
legitimate security or penelogical interests.
''(3) Deadlines and periodic review.--The Commission shall
prescribe regulations to implement the provisions of this
subsection within one year after the date of enactment of the
Family Telephone Connection Protection Act of 2005. The
Commission shall review, on a triennial basis, the regulations
promulgated under this subsection, including whether any
Commission-established compensation rates should be modified.
''(4) State preemption.--To the extent that any State
requirements are inconsistent with the Commission's regulations
affecting or pertaining to interstate inmate telephone service,
including restrictions on the payment of commissions based upon
interstate inmate telephone service revenues or earnings, the
Commission's regulations on such matters shall preempt such
State requirements.
