What I meant to ask was what are the repercussions in place for the prison officials? I feel that a court settlement isn't adequate for an organization routinely abusing prisoner rights. Like shouldn't at least someone get fired or perhaps charged?

Accountability in 2018 is a completely foreign concept--especially when there is money that could be made for a company and power to be gained by the state.

Also I'm not entirely sure that recording the calls even is illegal: government officials/law enforcement are probably prohibited from doing that, but there can be huge loopholes. A good one is general cell phone surveilance. Private companies collect GPS information and hand it over to law enforcement even though LE can't collect it legally themselves. No warrants needed.
