Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Inmates at pre-release center in Lawrence must use prepaid debit cards for A&B vending machines as part of thier canteen. Everyone I asked who has gotten an itemized receipt from the debit card company has found overcharges and double charges. More inmates need to follow through to see where their money is going. All the transaction histoys I checked, Mine plus 6 out of 6 others had duplicate charges made to thier account from vending machines in Canterbury NH and Middleton MA. even though they only use  the machines in the Lawrence pre-release center. There were three cases of $7.50 charges for $2.00 purchases. 

I requested a reimbursement when I left. I got it in full without question or confirmation on the sheriffs behalf. WHY?

They rip off everyone including visitors when they use thier own cards and reimburse anyone who bothers to notice it without question. Getting an itemize statement is difficult to do when using jail phones. If only a few bother to check then A&B is still raking it in.

Hello Robert,

I'm Sarah Betancourt, a reporter working on a potential long-form piece about money spent by prisoners and their families. I read your post on Ripoff about the A&B vending machines. Would be interested in hearing more. My email is [email protected], if you have time to talk over the next few days. Let's start with what happened.

 

Best,

Sarah
