In most jurisdictions, it is legal for prison staff to open and inspect inmate mail to ensure security and prevent contraband. However, legal protections exist to safeguard privileged correspondence, such as between inmates and their attorneys. The specific regulations can vary by facility and state, so it's important to consult local laws for detailed information. Generally, while mail can be opened, it should be done in a manner that respects inmates' rights to privacy in certain communications.
