SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — South Dakota prison inmates soon will be able to check their voicemail.
The Department of Corrections is adding a voicemail feature that will allow people, for a $1 charge, to leave a 60-second message. Inmates will be able to check their messages twice a day at no cost.
The new system will cost taxpayers nothing, said Michael Winder, communications and information manager for the Department of Corrections. Instead, the $1 charge will pay for the infrastructure and operating costs. The state will not have to buy any new equipment.
