Attorney/Client Contact

Attorney/client contact is provided for at Montana Department of Corrections secure facilities using a number of methods. Those include:

Mail

Offenders in DOC facilities are able to communicate with their legal counsel confidentially via mail. Required steps — like clearly marking mail as “Legal Mail” — are described in the following policy.

While personal inmate mail is scanned and delivered to inmates on their tablets, this is not the case with legal mail. Legal mail is delivered directly to inmates where it is opened by staff members in the presence of the inmate.
