§43A-4-107.
   
   Patients at institutions shall have the privilege of freely writing to
   and corresponding by uncensored and sealed letter mail, which is
   either sent out or received, with their relatives, friends, physicians
   and legal advisers. They may also receive visits from the said persons
   at reasonable times, and have reasonable telephone privileges, except
   when it is deemed inadvisable for the patient's welfare by the
   superintendent or person in charge of the institution. In such
   instances, the superintendent shall place on file in the patient's
   clinical case record, subject to departmental or other official
   inspection, a written statement of the reason for not permitting the
   correspondence, writing, visits or telephone calls. Any restrictions
   imposed on the patient by the superintendent or person in charge of
   the institution may be appealed to the local district court.
   Notwithstanding any limitations authorized under this section on the
   right of communication, every patient shall be entitled to communicate
   at all times by uncensored sealed letter mail, which is either sent
   out or received, with the director, the court, if any, which ordered
   his commitment, his personal attorney and physician and with other
   official agencies and courts, whether state, federal or local.
