This number is to a company called Prison Call Solutions (PCS). They help inmates and their families have less expensive phone charges by deposing funds into an account that serves as a local calling card, to avoid long distance charges. this company serves all US jail facilities, hence all the different caller ID locations.
Got a call on my cell phone from this number. Caller ID says it's a number from Dallas TX but the recorded message said it was a collect call from an inmate at El Dorado County (California) jail and that if I accepted, $9.95 would be charged to my phone. I don't know a "Justin" that would be calling me collect from jail so I am assuming it is a wrong number or some sort of scam.
Five calls today. I answered the first two. Both were collect calls from Jenny at the Marion County Jail. Of course, I didn't accept. Don't have any close person named Jenny.
Got one today. You'll hear a name and a correctional facility and some menu options. I recognized the name and the location and took the call. It was a "friend" who's got himself in jail and was calling me for help. Legitimate enough, but, if you look at other postings here, it's obvious that you've got a lot of people in jail dialing at random as a form of amusement. If you don't recognize the voice and the name and have good reason to think that that person is in that jail, don't accept the call. It's collect. You can push a key (8) for rates; I didn't. When I see the charge on my phone bill, I may get back. Someone else here was saying ten bucks. My friend was thinking more like $25.
Received a call on my cell phone today from "Lyle". Immediately hung up. The prison (if that is where this is) needs to monitor phone activity. Also, I do take some comfort from the fact that "Lyle" is exactly where he needs to be -- in prison.
