Across the nation there are more than 280,000 illegal immigrants are being held 400 different detention centers. These people are faced with a complex, and unreliable telephone system that constantly prevents inmates from making free phone calls to complain about their confinement. GAO investigators found "systemic problems" with the pro bona phone system at 16 of the 17 investigated. These included failed connections due to technical problems and insufficient internal controls. In one facility the list of consulate numbers was six years old and nearly one third of the numbers were incorrect.
These people are being held against there will with out any way of properly communicating with the out side world. The numbers that are to be provided include offices that function in order to insure these people are treated fairly. this is a problem, even if these people are illegal, the being held with now way to get themselves out is wrong.

I agree with you saying that it isn't fair that the immates don't have phones, the government should really fix the phones so that the immates will be able to contact their families.
