I fully agree (it's problematic for stuff like legal correspondence) but you know it's going to be Item #1 on any list of criteria for adoption.

Reality is that right now wardens can peek on pretty much what they want. It's paper. Who gets to decide what prisoner letters get opened? The warden.

Stuff that is technically protected correspondence gets opened? Sucks to be you. If it's not a sealed room alone with your lawyer... it counts. Is SCOTUS gonna come down on the guards/warden/etc? Hell no. Lol if you think you can even convict a specific random cop who does a thing. Inmates have basically no legal protection or rights.

In a 5-4 ruling, it's a "bona fide mistake".

Fight that fight later. Because eventually we can actually mathematically guarantee, with encryption, that nobody but the lawyer can actually read that.
