COMMISSIONER CLYBURN STATEMENT 
ON INTRODUCTION OF THE 
INMATE CALLING TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS ACT OF 2018 
  -- 
WASHINGTON, March 8, 2018 – The following statement can be attributed to FCC 
Commissioner Mignon Clyburn:
“For far too long inmates and their loved ones have suffered under the burden of egregious 
inmate calling and video visitation rates. I commend Senators Duckworth, Portman, Booker, 
and Schatz for their work on the Inmate Calling Technical Corrections Act of 2018, which 
would clarify the FCC’s authority to tackle this problem in a comprehensive manner and 
establish a timeline for doing so. I look forward to the day where we can truly say that inmate 
calling rates across the nation are just and reasonable.”
