Summary of Bill HR 10450
Bill 118 hr 10450, also known as the "Electronic Communications Monitoring Regulation Act," aims to regulate the monitoring of electronic communications between an incarcerated person in a Bureau of Prisons facility and their attorney or other legal representative. The bill seeks to protect the confidentiality of attorney-client communications by establishing guidelines for when and how these communications can be monitored.
Under the proposed legislation, the Bureau of Prisons would be required to obtain a court order before monitoring any electronic communications between an incarcerated individual and their legal representative. This court order would only be granted if there is reasonable suspicion that the communication is being used to facilitate criminal activity.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions to ensure that any information obtained through the monitoring of attorney-client communications is not used against the incarcerated individual in court. This is meant to uphold the constitutional right to legal representation and a fair trial. Overall, the Electronic Communications Monitoring Regulation Act aims to strike a balance between maintaining security within Bureau of Prisons facilities and protecting the rights of incarcerated individuals to confidential legal counsel. It seeks to ensure that electronic communications between inmates and their attorneys are not subject to unwarranted surveillance or interference.
