Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2022

The Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2022 grants the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the authority to regulate the costs of all communication services within correctional facilities, including video calls and audio services. This law ensures that the rates charged to incarcerated individuals and their families are "just and reasonable," addressing historically high costs for both local and long-distance connections. By allowing the FCC to set price caps that account for necessary security costs, the act aims to make it more affordable for families to maintain contact with incarcerated loved ones.
