Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores speaks about controversy over Securus
Kelly Schaeffer worries there might come a time when she can t afford to talk to her teenage son in jail.
The 44-year-old mother estimates she spends $100 a month for her son to call her every other day from the Muskegon County Jail, which contracts with Securus Technologies to provide telecommunication services. Schaeffer says these conversations are central to maintaining their connection as her son serves a year-long jail sentence.
Schaeffer was laid off and out of work for most of the pandemic and managed the cost of calls on her husband s salary. But at $3.15 for a 15-minute call, plus fees to add money to her prepaid account and to accept collect calls from time to time, the charges add up fast. Schaeffer said she recently found a job, but money is still tight.

.- On a recent afternoon outside the Art Institute of Chicago, there was no trace of the line that typically snakes down the museums granite steps and along Michigan Avenue as visitors wait to enter the grand home of Edward Hoppers Nighthawks and Grant Woods American Gothic. Every so often a passerby paused on the desolate sidewalk to take a selfie with one of the bronze lions guarding the museum, but there was no reason to go further: The doors were locked.
