Q: My mate is incarcerated they wrote him a ticket saying he was possessing a phone. They never caught him with a phone
They are saying they have data of his voice and is saying that it’s a phone number that’s on his phone list and another person phone list
A: It's difficult to understand the nature of the charges your friend faces. Of course it's not illegal to possess a phone. It sounds like there might be some criminal conduct associated with the use of the phone, but the question is unclear. If you have the statement of charges or statement of probable cause, you could likely discuss it with an attorney on your friend's behalf unlimited basis in a confidential setting. It seems clear that your friend needs the services of either experienced private council or the services of the public defender if he or she cannot afford such.
