Inmate telephones having inmate-movable telephone bodies

摘要

An inmate telephone for use by inmates of a prison or a mental institution comprises a housing having an opening and a telephone body supported within the housing. The telephone body supports an earpiece and a mouthpiece. The telephone body may have an inmate-adjustable portion that extends out of the opening and is movable to an inmate-adjustable position. The telephone body may have a generally spherical shape that is rotatable to an inmate-adjustable position relative to the housing. A height-adjustment mechanism may mount the telephone body to a wall of the prison or the mental institution to an inmate-adjustable height relative to the wall.
