Re: Intent
Or it could be that they are just cheap, and save money by recording all calls and providing all calls to the prosecution/police. Having a way to disable recording of attorney/client calls, or removing them later could cost money.
Either way they are scum, and the correct punishment should be the voiding of all their contracts for prison phones nationwide. They should be replaced by a nonprofit that provides the calls (and recording of non privileged calls to be accessed only in response to a subpoena) at cost to inmates, without any profit motive. Restricting inmates access to calls from family only leaves them more isolated, forming stronger attachments with other inmates thus becoming more likely to offend upon release since the only friends they have are ones from prison.
