The proposed jail phone and video contract for Kalamazoo County is now public, and the Board of Commissioners votes on it Tuesday, October 20 at 6:30 PM.

Under the new contract, calls cost 7¢ a minute, down from 18¢, and video visits cost 12¢ a minute, down from 25¢. Each person also receives one free 5-minute call and 8 free messages a month. The contract runs three years, from January 2027 through December 2029.

The proposed contract says the county will receive an estimated $62,000 a year, from 2¢ on every call and video minute, plus a one-time $25,000 tech grant. The contract does not say how that money will be used.

We compared the contract to our five asks. The graphic shows where each one stands.

Young people know what their communities need. Let's build it together.

This Youth Justice Action Month, we're celebrating Youth Leading the Movement.

Building a future where youth thrive requires more than asking young people for their opinions. It means creating meaningful opportunities for youth to influence decisions, develop solutions, lead initiatives, and hold systems accountable.

It's time to make sure they have the space, resources, and power to lead.

10/13/2026

New federal rules that took effect this spring ban commissions and added fees in new jail phone contracts. Kalamazoo County's next contract will be its first under these rules. We're asking the county to put those protections in writing in the contract itself, along with a phone rate of 10 cents a minute or less.

Vote expected October 20: ccjtkalamazoo.org/jail-telecom-asks
