Prohibit fees and exploitative markups for services to incarcerated people

Warren proposes prohibiting contractors from charging incarcerated or detained people for basic services such as phone calls, bank transfers, and health care. She would also restrict exploitative markups on services such as commissary and packages, and prohibit charges for re-entry, supervision, and probation services. The proposal covers contractors serving people inside facilities and those under supervision outside them.
