Prisons: Curb Terror-Suspect Communication

[Rose Siding]

LOS ANGELES -- Wary of militants ordering attacks from behind bars, the federal Bureau of Prisons is seeking to sharply restrict communication between suspected terrorist inmates and the outside world.

The proposal, posted this week on the Federal Register, says the policy would let federal authorities limit phone calls, letters and visits for detainees with an "identifiable link to terrorist-related activity" even if they haven't been convicted or charged with a crime.

Currently, federal prison authorities can impose similar or tougher restrictions with a special order from the attorney general.

The new measure would let Prisons Bureau officials curb communications without that order, and by using their own intelligence, not just that of other federal agencies.
