I never said it was. I specified who can make payments for you while you are serving time. The fact you think this can’t happen or that the prison has any involvement in this is really off
edit: It should say Lawyers OR not ir perhaps that’s the confusion?
This is incredibly stupid. Prison officials will do everything they can to prevent an inmate from moving around assets for VERY OBVIOUS reasons. But, after thinking about it, it may not be so obvious for this echo chamber so let me explain the obvious.
You are an inmate in prison. You made millions doing your illegal thing while free but you hare now doing hard time. You don’t like hard time, you want easy or no time. How do you make your life better while in prison. Wait, you have millions. You’ll just use that money to have your way with the guards and prison system. Guard giving you trouble? Use your assets that you’ve amassed to “get rid of them”.
The prison system has protocols and processes in place to prevent all inmates from being able to control any assets they have on the outside. This prevents them from committing further crimes, exerting influence, or running an enterprise (criminal or legal) while incarcerated.
They don’t have access to an inmate’s finances. But it may be against a prison’s policy for an inmate to go into certain contracts. This is dependent on the inmate’s conviction and each prison system. The prison also doesn’t allow any privacy so running a business while in prison will be picked up and disciplinary action will be taken. The prison is supposed to protect the public from the inmate so it would look really bad if an inmate is running a business from prison. It can be a threat to the public and prison if they are able to control outside money from prison because then they could continue to commit crimes.
So yeah I warden doesn’t have access to things like bank accounts or brokerage accounts but they control all forms of communication.
You think a competent honest lawyer would risk their career doing something like bribing people with an inmate’s money?
EDIT: Also how about you read what you linked and the thread you are replying to. The conversation was about being in control of your assets while in prison. A revocable living trust is primarily used in estate planning to determine who will get your property when you die. Now can you explain how an inmate can use a revocable trust to bribe a politician into pardoning them?
Lawyers or anyone that has power of attorney can make payments on your behalf. How do you think people pay mortgages or make payments in jail?
That is literally NOT the definition of a lawyer.

How does being in prison prohibit moving around assets?

Wardens do not have access to financial of prisoners. Why would you think that would be the case?

Where do you live? It’s as if you have literally no idea what you are talking about on any kind of level. Seriously you’re just incorrect.
You are naive.
Explain how I’m the naive one.
Again, I’m gonna suggest you look up lawyers and what they do.
Here’s some resources:

Revocable Living Trust (apologies, but this one isn’t very kid friendly)
