Prison inmates.
Inmates at the Vancouver Island Correctional Centre (VCBC) typically call from a designated inmate phone system. They can make calls to approved phone numbers, which are usually family members or friends, using prepaid phone accounts or funds deposited into their accounts. The specific number they would call depends on the setup of the phone system and the individual contacts they have on their approved list.

the target population
All of the inmates in the U.S. prison system would represent the population of interest for the researchers.
