Yes for sure but not a crime
@Puzzles8....Many inmates--it's a big thing--manipulate family and friends into doing 3-way calls and it falls back on the inmates, not on those they manipulated. If everyone was arrested who was coerced and taken advantage of by jail inmates on collect phone calls, the court system would explode into chaos.
Are three-way calls from jail allowed? - Ask the Inmate
Are three-way calls from jail allowed?
Three-way calls are dangerous for the inmate. Remember, there is a process to be able to receive a call from an inmate. The "no three-way call" rule is actually a rule worthy of enforcement as it allows for an unapproved call recipient to communicate with the inmate.
(think Jake) This is considered dangerous for the staff and for the public at large.
The prisons and jails spend a lot of money to stop it from happening. There is software detection on the lines by the carriers that are set to catch the 3-way calls. Inmates seem to always get caught, and the penalties can be pretty harsh. Inmates that get caught will lose phone privileges for sure, maybe visitation and commissary for many months.
Angela Wagner lost both phone and mail privileges. Rita had sent her a letter which was forbidden under the no contact rule.
