Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Why not? You can mock him through the little glass window and rub his nose in the fact that you had him put in jail. Make sure to take your little baby with you.

There is no legal prohibition, but as pointed out by Mr. Stone, it appears to be in bad taste.

Is the protected person trying to get this guy into even more trouble?

If the restraining order says "no contact with the protected person," it means just that -- NO CONTACT. If they're seen together, the protected person doesn't get into trouble -- the restrained person does.

With jail records and recorded conversations on the phones in visiting, it would be pretty easy to prove the inmate violated the order.

I have seen people prosecuted because they accepted jail visits from people who had restraining orders against them. If the restrained person is smart, he will refuse the visit when he finds out it's the protected person.

I can understand why Mr. Stone was frustrated with the question and posted a snarky reply, but I think it's important to realize the inmate could get screwed a second time if this visit takes place.
