Many phone calls from prisoners are being recorded. Many of
these phone calls are confidential calls between an attorney and the prisoner. These
recordings should not have been recorded because of the legally protected
client attorney confidentiality. This is known through the Securus leak/hack. Prisoners
rarely get any sort of privacy; they at least deserve to have private
conversations with their legal team and their families. This violates both the
prisoners few privacy rights and the rights of anyone who happened to call a
prisoner. What makes this worse is the
way they store the records. They had the recordings scattered across many
tables. There is no security in the storing of this information. If they must
record the phone calls they should at least have a safe and secure the
information. The main problem with this is that it goes against the 6th
amendment a right to competent and effective legal counsel. Anyone citizen
should have the rights to keep their amendments.

I don't think a prisoner should have any privacy rights. They could talk to a family member or someone who says they are about breaking him out. I think that it is good that it is being recorded.
