I have no knowledge of this, but would find it highly improbable that a random person could just walk up to a jail and visit with someone who is an inmate...But I fully acknowledge I could be 100,000,000% wrong.
The way it works in most jails, the inmate is informed that he has a visitor that wants to meet and speak with him. It's up to the inmate if he wants to have a sit-down chat with the visitor. There's been a whole lot of incriminating evidence obtained through the years via a scenario just like that. Usually it's the inmates phone calls that are recorded though, not so much their personal visitations.
It's hard to have recorders everywhere, all the time.
I don't understand why this guy didn't just get up on the stand and take the fifth, none of this would even be happening. I guess he must not have had any legal counsel at the time.........

Maybe part of the problem here is that Singleton was
obviously toying with the prosecutor and
deliberately furnishing bogus answers to the questions, in an attempt to help Houck. Being a wise-
, so to speak. It may have angered the prosecutor to the point that what we're seeing now is payback for swaying the grand jury to the point that it wouldn't indict Houck. His answers to the questions may have been so outrageous and bias, that they actually created doubts in the minds of the grand jury. The prosecutor may have known he was lying, but that doesn't mean the grand jury knew it as well.
For example: "Do you know where BH was the evening before Crystal went missing ?" Singleton: "Yeah, he was with me at the lake. We rented a cabin and spent that entire week fishing at Lake So-and-So. "
As we all know, Houck has been neither indicted or charged. Maybe Singleton and his testimony is part of the reason.
Those children ALL need each other right now.
