     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill establishes requirements related to certain charges, practices, classifications, or regulations in connection with confinement facility (i.e., jail or prison) communications services.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish maximum rates and charges that a provider of prison communications services may charge for such services. The bill provides interim rate caps until the FCC establishes such rates and charges.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill requires a provider of prison communications services to assess all charges for communications on a per-minute basis for the actual duration of the communication, and it prohibits a provider from charging a per-communication or per-connection charge. A provider also may not charge an ancillary service charge except in certain circumstances.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Further, the bill prohibits a provider from assessing a site commission, which is a payment or donation made to certain entities that operate or oversee a confinement facility.&lt;/p&gt;
