This law is not stupid. It is quite obviously written to discourage people from trying to break prisoners out of jail. Do you really want the police to catch someone secretly talking to a prisoner and just say, “No, don’t do that”? There needs to be some way to stop it. If it is so important, go inside the jail and talk where they can record the conversation.
