The Mississippi Department of Corrections has donated 1,500 confiscated phones to help combat domestic violence.

HopeLine collects "no-longer-used wireless phones, batteries, chargers and accessories in any condition, from any service provider, and turns them into support for local shelters and nonprofit organizations that focus on domestic violence prevention, awareness and advocacy," the release said.
