Neither Bell Canada nor the Ontario government will say how much money they made from a jail phone system that charged what lawyers describe as "exorbitant" rates for inmate calls over eight years.Bell operated the Offender Telephone Management System from 2013 to 2021 which allowed inmates to only place collect calls at a flat rate of $1 for local calls, but about $1 per minute plus a $2.50 connection fee for long-distance calls, according to a recent Appeal Court decision.
