Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

lisa

I have a friend that works for a law firm that represented a client that was prosecuted and is now in jail. The friend is receiving personal letters from the client w/out the firm knowing it. Is this legal? She is wanting to use the letters with his consent to put in a local paper, stating why he did what he did. Is there any law that would prohibit this activity?
