Also, the commenter&#x27;s suggestion is not a great way to benefit from market forces:<p>&gt; Mandate at least two providers at each prison and let them charge whatever they want. Let them race to the bottom so you get the same cheap voip rates the rest of the country has access to.<p>If you want market forces to work, just make the most profitable deals with phone providers. Let phone providers pay the prison to be able to sell their phones in the prison.
