What it does
Existing law enumerates the civil rights that are retained by prisoners, including the right to correspond, confidentially, with any member of the State Bar or holder of public office, except that prison authorities are authorized to open and inspect incoming mail to search for contraband. Existing law also provides that prison authorities may exclude obscene publications or writings and open and inspect any and all packages received by an inmate.
