Understanding Phone Call Monitoring at Nassau County Jail
Staying connected with someone at Nassau County Correctional Center? Assume every regular phone call can be listened to or recorded. The one exception: legal calls placed to attorney phone lines officially registered with the Sheriff's Department/Correctional Center.
All inmate phone calls at Nassau County Correctional Center are subject to monitoring and recording. The only exception is legal calls - but the attorney's specific phone line must be officially registered with the Sheriff's Department/Correctional Center. If it's not a registered legal line, treat the call as if someone could be listening.
Certain phone behaviors are rule violations, even if they seem harmless. Three-way calling, call forwarding, and conference calling from inmate phones all violate Sheriff's Department rules. The consequences can be serious: disciplinary action, loss of phone privileges, and possible criminal charges - for both the incarcerated person and anyone who helped set up the call.
Warning: Three-way calls, call forwarding, and conference calling can trigger discipline, loss of phone privileges, and even potential criminal charges. Keep calls one-to-one and avoid any feature that adds or routes another person onto the line.
The legal-call exception is narrow but matters. Calls to legal counsel aren't monitored like regular inmate calls - but only when the attorney's phone line is officially registered with the Sheriff's Department/Correctional Center. If the lawyer's number isn't on file, the call won't qualify for that protection.
- Prepare a letter on firm letterhead - the attorney must write an official request.
- List the phone number(s) to be used for inmate-client calls - include each specific line that should be registered.
- Submit the letter to the Sheriff’s Department to register those lines - registration is what makes the attorney line eligible for the legal-call exception.
Note: The facility has a process for registering attorney phone lines with the Sheriff's Department/Correctional Center. If you need this set up, the attorney should follow those instructions to ensure the correct number is on file.
