阿肯色州总检察长蒂姆·格里芬和印第安纳州总检察长托德·罗基塔向13个州提起了诉讼,控告联邦通信委员会管制监狱电话服务的新规则。 Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin and Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita have filed a lawsuit with 13 states against a new FCC rule that regulates prison phone service. 该诉讼主张,该规则损害国家主权,妨碍管教设施的管理,并可能增加囚犯打电话的费用。 The lawsuit asserts that the rule undermines state sovereignty, hampers management of correctional facilities, and could raise costs for inmate phone calls. 总检察长认为，FCC 通过限制费率和取消对监狱安全资金至关重要的佣金结构，超越了其权力。 The attorneys general argue the FCC overstepped its authority by capping rates and eliminating commission structures vital for prison security funding.
