An attorney wishing to communicate with an offender by telephone must be aware of certain rules and restrictions.
| Incoming Calls |
|---|
| Each institution shall designate an individual as the primary contact for attorneys who wish to arrange for an incoming call to an offender. Attorneys must provide five days advance notice to the institution鈥檚 primary contact in order to arrange an incoming legal call between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except State holidays. The institution shall provide one private attorney telephone area with a telephone that is not capable of outgoing calls. Calls shall be scheduled in 25 minute intervals. Though attorneys are encouraged to limit their calls to one 25 minute time slot because only one telephone room per institution is available, attorneys may schedule two consecutive slots when necessary and if consecutive time slots are available. A staff member must be tasked to answer the telephone, verify the identity of the attorney, and provide the telephone to the offender. These calls shall not be monitored. Incoming legal calls that are needed to address an imminent deadline within 5 day notice period may be approved by the Warden or designee upon review of written documentation which establishes the need for the imminent call. |
| Outgoing Calls |
|---|
| Offenders can utilize the inmate telephones to place an outgoing call to their attorney. Calls to attorney office telephone numbers registered with the Iowa Supreme Court are not monitored or recorded in the offender telephone system. |
The use of electronic devices, such as videotape recorders or computers, is generally not permitted. The warden may permit such use, however, if it is shown that such use is absolutely essential to facilitate the attorney-client relationship, and such use would not be inconsistent with the institution鈥檚 maintenance of security, good order, or discipline.
