The proposed rule allows foreign national inmates the ability to meet with the consulate representing their country privately, and to have an attorney accompany the consulate officer. The proposed rule requires that the consulate provide the identification sufficient to authenticate that he or she is a consulate of the inmate’s country before a private meeting is allowed and to allow the consulate and inmate to exchange documents only after a cursory inspection by the officer in charge. The proposed rule also requires that institutions provide an adequate area for consulate officers to visit their inmate citizens in order to ensure the privacy of such visits and includes recommended visiting schedules.
