**ATTORNEY TELEPHONE NUMBER REQUEST FORM**
Attorney telephone calls can be placed through the offender/probationer telephone system. Telephone calls between offenders/probationers and their attorneys are
privileged and should not be recorded or monitored. To ensure attorney telephone calls placed on the offender/probationer telephones are **not recorded and**
**monitored**, offenders/probationers must submit all attorney telephone numbers for authorization.
Offenders/probationers are required to provide the telephone number, including area code for the attorney requested. Toll free numbers (800, 866, 888, etc.) are not
permitted. Offenders/probationers should also provide the first and last name of the attorney requested and a full physical address, including street number, street
name, city and state. P.O. Boxes are not permitted.
_**The attorney information provided will be verified for accuracy and validity by a counselor (or other authorized facility staff member).**_ If the attorney telephone
number is positively verified, the attorney telephone number will be added to the offender/probationer's Call Allow List and marked as "private/do not record" in the
offender/probationer telephone system. Offenders/probationers are allowed a total of twenty (20) active telephone numbers, including attorney numbers, on the call
allow list.
