I am a young lawyer who has been attempting to contact some of my clients in the Pennsylvania state prison system. I am having great difficulty. Letters are opened, letters are returned, etc. Is this a major problem?

Unfortunately, yes. It’s a disgraceful situation that has been allowed to continue for over a year.  It’s even more upsetting since there has been litigation on this that resulted in a settlement that turned out to be ineffective and, in many ways, created more problems.
