Gosh, nmk, I cannot remember the name of the facility that she is in.
It seems that the rules would be the same no matter which place she is in, though. Does the Phoenix jail have a website discussing jailhouse rules?
I have found out that:
Unless there are security or disciplinary restrictions placed upon a jail, or an area within the jail, phones are available to inmates from approximately 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. (Times vary from facility to facility.) Inmates can only make calls to outside parties if the call is charged to the receiving party as a collect call. Incoming calls to inmates are not available.

I have also learned through some prison hook up message boards (I go where the case takes me) that a call from an AZ state prison cuts out after 15 minutes.
I have also gathered that from reading other forums for prisoners wives that they speak of the prices of phone calls in 20 minute increments, so I am assuming that the average allowed time from an AZ county jail is 20 minutes.
I am including all of this because it might actually be useful if Tammi tries to play off another phone call.
ETA: There is apparently a two call per day limit, every call is screened, and the number being called must be preapproved by the jail.
I found it !!!!!
Call Duration - The system shall be capable of adjusting pre-set call duration limits through
software at the request of MCSO. The duration limits may vary according to facility, type
of call or temporary restriction. A warning tone at two minutes and again at one minute
before automatic call termination shall be provided. The current durations are set for 12
minutes on collect calls and 20 minutes on legal calls. The current maximum duration for
Long Distance calls is 20 minutes.

That phone call was impossible.
