Where I worked, the only letters in an inmates outgoing mail that can be sealed by the inmate are legal letters. IF a letter is to an attorney, it had to be addressed as such, the inmate can seal it herself/himself.
All incoming mail to an inmate from an attorney with the attorney's official address printed as on professional stationary (envelope) cannot be opened by anyone other than the inmate it is addressed to. There is a computer program whereby the legal mail is recorded under the inmates name and the attorney/court it is from. Then then inmate has to sign for it at mail call. The inmate has to open the legal mail in front of an officer and shake the pages out to show there is no contraband in it. The envelope is then shaken by the officer to see if there is any contraband in it.
IF proper and unexpected shakedowns are done on a cell or dorm, Casey's letters would have been found, IMO. Even ones she would have been in the middle of writing. I understand no proper names were used, tho. If Casey had been caught flushing paper (letters/notes) down the tiolet, she would have been in trouble. One sanction could have been no commissary for X number of days or no TV time.
As for Baez being allowed to bring in his laptop - I am just amazed. I cannot believe any judge would allow it. IF Baez smuggled letters in or out of the jail for Casey, then he is no better than the criminals he represents, IMO. He should be in trouble too.
As for the female guard; if she will break one rule, she will most likely break others. She should be fired, IMO. Every rule in a correctional facility is there for a reason, but mostly for security purposes. What if Adams had choked or killed Casey when the female officer alledgedly let Adams in her cell? This female officer should be fired, IMO. No if's, ands, or buts about it. She jeopardized the security of the facility, IMO. This sort of thing just infuriates me.
MOO
