Overview

When someone is booked into Tangipahoa Parish Jail, they're typically allowed one or two free phone calls to notify friends or family.

One facility source reports collect calls may cost about $1.00 to $1.50 per minute, while a separate federal reference states a $0.21-per-minute cap for domestic jail calls—those numbers don't match.
