Either the attorneys use them or bill them for the transportation costs.

Nice try, doesn't work that way. How bout this, most of the skells are getting publicly funded assigned counsel. If the 18b attorney (publicly funded) is driving back and forth to Riverhead, they are billing the taxpayer for it. It's the job of the Sheriff's office to transport prisoners for court appearances and attorney visits. If they don't the skell attorneys claim a due process violation and a right to competent counsel and that costs the taxpayers even more. Got another question for you, how do you show the skell in Riverhead documents if you are seated in CI?

This would not be required if they had kept the Pilgrim state facility. But the good folks there cannot be subjected to soemthing like that

Truth be told

It is not the Sheriff's job to transport prisioners to visit their attorneys. The taxpayer should not pay to drive inmates to visit their attorney. Attorneys are supposed to visit their client at the jail. Legal aide attorneys don't bill anyone they are paid a salary and it is the same whether they drive to visit an inmate or not. If the attorneys don't like video conferencing then drive to go see your client. they are bloodsucking leeches.

How about just dropping the whole attorney-prisoner interview nonsense and let them either plead guilty at arraignment or wait until they are in the courthouse for the trial to begin to meet their shisters, I mean leeches, oops attorneys.

Because it's called due process. When you get collared for driving drunk or beating your nagging wife, you'll want it and understand also.

With mandatory arrests involving domestic violence, not all of them are true.
Ordres of Protection are not supposed to say who can wash their clothes on Tuesdays or not. OPs are used and abused.

The government and law enforcement constantly uses evidence against criminals they gather in jail from phones, other inmates, you name it. What attorney worth a damn wouls allow his client to talk openly on a computer hook up owned and operated by the sheriff? No matter what the character of the arrestee, no lawyer doing his job would allow them to leave themselves open to this.

Please cite one case where Law Enforcement and prosecutors "bugged" attorney/client interview rooms in courthouses or jails. Phone calls in jail to outsiders are consensually recorded as a condition of allowing phone usage. If the attorneys don't like it the attorney can get in their car and drive to Riverhead/Yaphank and interview their skells face to face.
