Prisons searching mail from lawyers
Setting: Contemporary, Virginia, maximum security prison.
Searched Google w/ "searching mail in prison lawyers" "searching legal documents mail in prison"
I know that legal correspondence is protected and not subject to being searched by prison censors. My question is whether mail that's not from the prisoner's lawyer/law firm of record may be searched. Basically, a prisoner got a questionable piece of mail, and it was allowed through because it was from a lawyer, but not HER lawyer. Is that something that can be restricted?
Any insight would be great, thanks!
