Bureau of Prisons can suspend Attorney/client privileges
One month after the 9/11 attacks, the Department of Justice issued an interim rule that gave its Bureau of Prisons the right to scrap traditional notions of attorney-client privilege in order to monitor conversations between inmates suspected of terrorism and their lawyers.
Last month, the department announced that the final version of that rule, which will become effective on June 4, extends from four months to one year the time period during which such intrusive monitoring of those jailhouse conversations can take place.

if they want to catch some real criminals they would suspend the attorney client privilege in corporate boardrooms across America - not in jail, where they've spirited away defenseless patsies.

"Money" has no value - people do.
They wouldn't want to be caught by suprise in an effective judicial defense, whould they?
