What is "3 AM".

On digital clock, it would read 3:00 and the PM indicator would be
off.

On analoug clock, the big hand would be pointing at 12 and small hand
at 3 and outside should be still dark (no sun)

Not very helpful for those of us who are residing in prison with no access
to an outside window.

If they used a older-style dictation machine based on tape then you
could detect the electromagnetic transmissions from the dictation
machine when it was recording.

But how would you detect if someone was secretly recording with an MP3
player that recorded to flash memory?

Is there some transmission which could be detected?
Perhaps some low power ultra high frequency from chip refresh cycles?

not sure if you could find it with a metal detector, but probably

You'd still have to worry about mind reading satellites.

Picking up any signal is out of question. However, if you are a
paranoid suspecting someone is out to get you by recording, try this
one:
When she gets in your room/office, sing some line of song, like,
"Hellooo, is it me you're looking for? I can see in your eyes..." etc.
Stop kind of suddenly, look at her in the eye, and say, "If someone
recorded that song wouldn't it play back real nice?" She'll know you'd
caught her at her game and would blush or tremble or something.

What is done is to generate a pattern of sound, only
part of which is audible, and then detect the low level
IF and RF that any sound equipment emits. Then follow
the signal detected to its source.

Generate a pattern of sound part of which is inaudible?

Acoustic energy then, what the microphone/audio detection
picks up. (It will cover more frequencies that humans can
hear.)

The pattern is on at a particular time then off, it varies in
certain ways that will enable further analysis of any:
IF and RF?
Intermediate Frequencies (IF) or Radio Frequencies (RF)
given off by a device reacting to the pattern of sound.
If there is any IF or RF detected that corresponds/matches
the on off times of the pattern of sound, you know there is
a device responding to the sound in the room.

A more sophisticated analysis of the detected response
to the pattern, can provide a great deal of information
about the device detected. That would be beyond the
scope of your question, and your security clearance, as
well.

I'm not so sure this technique will work with an IC that has
constant current, continual encoding of even silence as a
typical MP3 player/recorder is likely to use. There might
be a theoretical difference but one far more difficult to
measure than even anything at all from the device.

You would be surprised at what is being done.
As one of my techs used to say. "Noise, what Noise".
But then this stuff tends to be kind of pricey.

You know how an IC gives off heat in relation to how
hard it is working, ("constant current" is a myth) heat is
only one part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Switching
devices certainly produce as much "noise" when they
operate as analog devices, more in most cases. We have
devices that can detect very, very low wattage signals.
