Shocking but a better question is why are they recording "confidential" phone calls in the first place. I assume these were w/ their lawyers?

Yeah, they were conversations with lawyers. Which are the only private conversation that a prisoner gets.

There's something seriously wrong w/ that. I get they're prisoners and other calls will be recorded but why was the recording apparatus even running on a conversation w/ their lawyer in the first place?

That's what is so fucked up about it. This stuff isn't even supposed to be recorded and it's a direct violation of these citizens rights.

Prisoners don't deserve rights

all persons in the US have certain rights, equal protection under the law, etc.

otherwise it's back to a medieval justice system.

Sure I'll get dv for this but we should. It's prison not a fucking day spa

that gets into the whole philosophical issue of "why prisons?" in the first place

there are many rationals, often getting into various considerations of justice and economics

It can be a complicated discussion
