I can only speak for 'U' Dorm at Lowell Correctional. There are 95 inmates in that dorm. There are 2 phones WHICH ONLY ONE OF THOSE ARE WORKING. There is also video visitation monitors, WHICH ARE NON-OPERATIONAL, aka. BROKEN. How are these inmates supposed to contact family when equipment is not operational? How can DOC make such a false claim that inmates are given this opportunity when in fact they don't due to broken equipment?
