If inmates are allowed to email, and also allowed private communication with their lawyers, why wouldn't they be able to have a registered lawyers' email address not be monitored, or to be able to flag an email as privileged exactly in the way they do with postal mail? >Prosecutors once had a “filter team” to set aside defendants’ emails to and from lawyers, but budget cuts no longer allow for that, they said. They seem to know that it's wrong, they're just becoming more confident that judges will let them do whatever they want. I'd accept that inmates shouldn't be allowed to use the internet at all before I'd accept that budget cuts have made it too expensive for prosecutors not to use privileged communications in court.
