>When you say "Obviously" do you mean what things are like, or do you mean what things should be like?

I mean thats what things are like based on previous Supreme Court rulings [1].

You have no privacy or expectation of privacy in prison, this includes communication with the outside world.

There as with all things of this nature some nuance to this, but bottom line telephone communications are allowed to be tapped without a warrant so long as the phone isn't given under false pretense of being unmonitored, which leads to expectation of privacy [2].

Its seems odd to be debating this since at it base prison is an act of depriving rights. You cannot have a private conversation with your family nor can you have dinner with them or go anywhere because you are in prison...

It basically in the 5th amendment: "nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law".

You have been deprived of liberty through due process of law...
