US prison bans all books – except The Bible

A jail in the US state of South Carolina has banned all book and reading materials except for the Christian Bible. Critics argue there is simply no good reason to ban books.

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit arguing the Berkeley County detention center's policy is unconstitutional.

"Our inmates are only allowed to receive soft back bibles in the mail directly from the publisher. They are not allowed to have magazines, newspapers, or any other type of books," a prison employee once said in an email to Prison Legal News, who is also working to sue alongside the ACLU.

"Prisoners who are incarcerated for extended periods of time have been deprived of access to magazines, newspapers and books – other than the Bible – for months or even years on end," noted the ACLU.

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.

So what happens if a Jewish guy gets incarcerated?

Yeah, that's right.

Also, BTW, aren't they still supposed to have legal access to a law library?

That is so massively fucked up. It's cruelty.

You're SO 20th century, Stella.

This is the New America™.  If they weren't guilty, they wouldn't have been arrested in the first place.

Because God forbid they learn any sort of occupational skill while in prison.

Here's why:  Because keeping them in the system, or bringing them back shortly after they leave, means they can be whored out to call centers, etc, for pennies a day.

So allowing them to relax or learn something doesn't help the bottom line.

That's really all there is to it, and they can certainly rely on the hair-shirt punishment crowd to back them on this.

I dunno...they could become priests, and replace all the ones being put inside for child abuse.

We'd also get a better class of criminal priest.  "So your pastor touched you up.  Mine killed three people and ate their raw hearts".

Amen, Reverend. I am surprised some people still think Americans have rights.

Also note the banning of Newspapers. Who needs to keep up on current events?
