Legally Unfiltered - Jailhouse Calls: Who else is on the line?
As a rule, jails and prisons monitor inmate telephone conversations. But what if an inmate needs to speak to his attorney over the phone? What happens to attorney client privilege? Will the jail (the state)share privileged information with the prosecution (also, the state)? Can an accused be assured of effective assistance of counsel if their lawyer cannot assure the client that their discussions are truly confidential because of the monitoring? Does this monitoring require a face-to-face visit with every client, every time? Tune-in as Franz and Richard dig into jailhouse calls on this episode of Legally Unfiltered.
