Collect calls from inmates at the Sedgwick County Jail will cost their families and friends less beginning this week. At the same time, the county will make a higher commission. The cost for a 20-minute call, whether local, in-state or out-of-state, will be $3.50 under the county’s new five-year contract with Securus Technologies Inc. That is 55 cents lower than it was under the county’s previous contract with Global Tel*Link, commonly called GTL. The new rates begin Wednesday.
