What is NOT true about non-privileged mail?

Non-privileged mail refers to correspondence that does not have the same level of confidentiality as privileged mail, which typically includes communication between an inmate and their attorney or similar entities where privacy is legally protected. With non-privileged mail, it is true that it can be opened and may be subjected to inspection by jail staff for security reasons.

The assertion that non-privileged mail cannot be withheld is significant because, while it can typically be read and opened, there are certain circumstances under which it may still be withheld from an inmate. For instance, if the content of the mail poses a threat to security, is contraband, or violates facility regulations, jail officials may have the authority to withhold it entirely. Thus, stating that non-privileged mail cannot be withheld is not accurate, reinforcing that the other options regarding the treatment of non-privileged mail are indeed valid.
