But They'll Rock at Healthcare, Part XCIII
Third call today from the Nebraska Correctional Facilities Victims Notification Unit. Notifying me of an upcoming parole hearing for some guy I never heard of. (I got a new landline installed for work, the previous owner of this number gets a lot of calls from debt collectors.)
To stop the calls, all I have to do is enter the four-digit PIN number I registered with. Of course, I did not register and do not have a PIN. I have learned that they are serious about calling back.
They do leave a number to call but nobody answers.
UPDATE: It gets better. I have now called five numbers and finally found the right office. They can't turn it off because I don't have the PIN. They have to be certain that I am not the criminal turning it off to keep bad testimony from my parole hearing. I told young Justin that I'm certain it is easier to get out of jail than to stop these calls.

Just imagine when you start receiving calls from the Federal Correctional Facilities Residents Notification Unit, telling you to surrender on such-and-such a date for not having sufficient health care, or else they'll come get you.
