Can he take a cell phone in the room with him when they visit? He probably had it hidden in his pocket or something so she could lean over on him and talk to her family w/o being recorded. I don't know if I explained that well, but it made sense when I thunk it. Like they were hugging to hide the fact the phone was up to her ear.
No, he is not supposed to take a cell phone into the jail because it would be considered contraband. He and his briefcase are supposed to be searched. Here in Louisiana, he would never make it into the locked down area where inmates meet with lawyers, etc., without being patted down.
Jails have rules and a schedule. The night time schedule is less busy, but you still have to have a certain number of officers on the shift. In a busy jail, night time is when the inmates in protective custody, administrative lockdown and so forth are escorted to shower. Meds have to be given out (daytime as well), and a routine has to be followed. If Casey gets special permission to visit with her lawyer, an officer has to be assigned to escort her and remain in an area where he/she does not listen to their communications, but HAS to watch her. She, being charged with Murder, should not be allowed to meet with Baez so frequently or even at night. In a jail or detention center setting, you have to be fair to all inmates. If Baez is allowed to come spend hours at night with Casey, then the other inmates should be allowed to do so as well. Can you imagine what a circus that would be?
I am going to email the jail today and ask why Casey and Baez are allowed to meet so much and at night. I may not get an answer, but it does appear to me that Casey and Baez are getting way to many visits in jail with Casey being a high profile inmate. I will post if I get an answer.
