It can be really difficult and expensive for people to stay connected with family members who are in prison.
Phone calls for family members can be quite expensive, as much as $25 per call, forcing some people to actually go into debt to keep in touch with loved ones.
Now, one enterprising young man named Uzoma Orchingwa is making a difference by helping to bridge that communication gap.
He created an app called “Ameelio” and it allows families to stay in touch with loved ones behind bars for free.
Orchingwa joins guest host Nayyera Haq on “Making the Case” to talk about the new app.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
