  • Summary

  • Mark Jones, an inmate at South Central Correctional Center (SCCC), proposed a technical solution to combat contraband issues in prisons. He suggested a bracelet device that monitors heart rate, blood pressure, and movement to detect signs of drug use or unauthorized activity. This innovative idea could enhance safety and accountability within correctional facilities.

    However, Jones also highlighted a troubling rights violation at SCCC. Caseworkers allegedly open legal mail in front of prisoners, make copies for them, and send the originals to investigators to test for drugs—potentially from attorneys. This practice violates constitutional protections, including the right to confidential legal communication, as outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 1702 (Obstruction of Correspondence) and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Civil Rights Violation).
