About this statute

Chapter on correspondence and telephone calls. De häktade har rätt till korrespondens, men den kan vara begränsad enligt 1 kap. 18 b § i tvångsmedelslagen. Letters, postal items, and messages to or from a detainee may be read if certain grounded reasons and necessity conditions are met. A detained person’s mail from counsel may only be opened and inspected in the detainee’s presence, and the message itself may not be read, if there is reason to suspect prohibited items in it. This section gives certain prison officials the power to decide on inspecting, opening, reading, copying, retaining, and wiretapping mail and phone calls, and it imposes secrecy limits on staff handling these tasks.
