There is no reasonable expectation of privacy from search and reading of nonlegal prison mail. United States v. Ligambi, 886 F. Supp. 2d 492 (E.D. Pa. 2012):<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, the ultimate question is whether Defendant Massimino had a legitimate expectation of privacy in his outgoing non-privileged mail. The justification prison officials have to read \u2018disapproved correspondence\u2019 in light of the legitimate objectives of the prison system, substantially diminishes, if not eliminates, the actual expectation of privacy Defendant Massimino might have had in the contents of envelopes submitted for non-privileged mailing. Furthermore, due to the possibility that prison officials could inspect his non-privileged mail under established practice, reasonably designed to promote the discipline of the institution, Defendant Massimino also cannot establish an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy in this correspondence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
