Council Member Julie Won questions James Conroy about DOC's handling and sharing of recorded calls, particularly those that were supposed to be privileged. Conroy explains the process and reasons behind DOC's actions.
- DOC intentionally shared recorded calls with the district attorney's office, unaware they were privileged due to the initial human error.
- Securus does not share data with third parties; all data is owned by DOC.
- DOC is responsible for sharing data in response to subpoenas.
- The discussion highlights the distinction between data security and attorney-client privilege issues.

that was part of say that that was not supposed to be recorded if you actively decided to turn that over to the district attorney's office.
1:32:49
That was an intentional decision then.
James Conroy
1:32:51
It was an intentional decision based on the fact that we were not aware at the time that it was a privileged phone call because of the initial human error that has been addressed that caused those phone conversations to be recorded.
Julie Won

So for Securus, how do you expect them to know which ones that they can and cannot share to a third party?
James Conroy
1:33:13
But they don't share them to a third party.
Julie Won
1:33:15
So you're saying
Christopher Leon Johnson
1:33:16
that they
Julie Won
1:33:16
share all of them to you, to the department We
James Conroy
1:33:19
are the owner of all of the data.
Julie Won
1:33:21
And the department is the one that's sharing it out.
James Conroy
1:33:23
That's right.
Julie Won
1:33:24
Even though you're not supposed to have certain data.
