Effective Assistance of Counsel in the Digital Era Act

Summary

The bill requires the Attorney General to create or modify a prison email system so that privileged communications with an attorney are never monitored. It lets the Bureau of Prisons keep copies of those messages until release, but only the AG or law‑enforcement with a warrant may access them. The goal is to protect attorney‑client privilege for people in federal or state prisons.
