The sign lets inmates know that their calls are subject to monitoring. The phones were removed.

Well...I guess the calls aren't being monitored now are they?

I WANT MY PHONE CALL!!! I DEMAND IT! CALL MY LAWYER!

Ooops...sorry. :D

(No I've never been in prison or jail or even been in trouble with the law EVER EVER...but I do watch any shows on prisons I can whenever they are on and I LOVE court shows. Maybe I was a lawyer in another life?)

@ferdy--

Calling for pizza is a bummer in a reformatory--the guards get to it first and leave nothing but chewed crusts.

I could call anyone who would accept a collect call. If I dialed a number the guards didn't like, the phones were rigged to zap me in the head with high voltage.
