Good thing jails here are required to announce when a prisoner is calling. I think I'd be pretty creeped out if I got a call from an inmate, especially someone totally unknown to me.

But maybe not a scam -- it's quite possible that the jails have CenturyLink phone lines and, thus, a collect call would show the company name since there is no individual calling, per se.
