Jail calls: Ohio inmates say incriminating, damaging things on recorded lines Inmates incarcerated in jails across the Miami Valley and the state of Ohio are warned that their jail phone calls are recorded. And yet investigators and law enforcement officials often review these calls because sometimes suspects make incriminating statements. ⢠Why it matters: Things that inmates say on calls can be used in court against them, which has impacted multiple cases and led to warnings from attorneys to not talk about their cases over the phone. ⢠One example: In the case of Joshua Speaks, he was in the Butler County Jail on charges related to an alleged assault against a woman. He had claimed self-defense. But in a jail call, he said he ânever once perceived her as a threat,â which was used against him in court. ⢠Inmates are warned: When inmates at the Montgomery County Jail use a phone, they are played pre-recorded audio that says the calls are recorded and subject to monitoring at any time. |
