2. Some may have a problem with calling to make a reservation, giving
credit card # to someone in prison of, oh, maybe credit card theft or some other similar crime.

What concerns me more is the idea of private for profit prisons contracting prisoners out to work (for about $130 a month to the laboror then a cut to the prison) for other private for profit companies who just don't want to pay even minimum wage to workers.
