Yeah, they're in prison. It comes with the territory. IIRC, the only person they have any right to privacy with is their lawyer, and only about legal matters.
It's not ideal, but it's a common enough problem that prisoners try to coordinate criminal activities with the outside while in prison (e.g. give orders to their gang, coordinate an escape, get orders to shank someone one the inside, etc).
