Read moreunfortunately no. inmates have a right of privacy from anyone peering into their personal information while incarcerated. The inmates are afforded privacy as it relates to their visitation list, their phone list and who is putting money on their commissary. The only person that can tell you is the inmate themselves.

Inmates have privacy rights that extend to their personal communications while incarcerated, and that information is not available to family members, spouses, or anyone else outside the facility without a legal process. The facility itself monitors all inmate communication for security purposes, but that monitoring is internal. It is not shared with outside parties on request. What is worth sitting
