Not providing them a sexual outlet seems like a really bad idea.

#1 - Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:51 PM EDTAlso -- I realize that it's the original title but I think the headline is a bit misleading.
They argue that the wording of the ban could also ban letters from loved ones and a lot of literature that it isn't intended to cover.
(Though I still say that providing them with sexual magazines is a "good" idea.)

#2 - Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:54 PM EDTa policy that went into effect July 1 barring adult magazines and other printed material that depict nudity or sexual content.
I agree the title doesn't do the article justice. It's a sensational title, in order to attract readers ( why did you click? :-p ). It's not just about adult magazines, the problem seems indeed the way the policy is worded.
I also think there's nothing wrong with providing inmates with a sexual outlet. It think not only they should be able to get Playboy and Hustler, but magazines like Skin Two and Bizarre as well *grin*

Allowing nude magazines into prisons is just asking for trouble. Any magazine entering a prison should remain fully clothed at all times.

#3 - Thu Jul 13, 2006 3:11 PM EDTThey should allow the magazines in but censor them like the Saudis do if you bring a magazine with you off the plane. Use magic marker to black out any flesh exposed by a woman, and any by a man more than face and hands. Then they can read the good editorials and be happy :) You could probably get a unedited copy by the guard same way you do the censor at airports, just bring an extra copy for your new friend and it's all good.
#4 - Thu Jul 13, 2006 4:27 PM EDTBut, oh noes! If we let pornography into prisons, we'll just be giving sex offenders what they want while they wait for their early parole hearings. And we certainly can't have them reading National Geographic--they might figure out that there's a world outside the prison and try to band together against the Warden.
What's more dangerous--a prison full of angry inmates, or a prison full of angry, sexually-frustrated inmates?

If you think you get a raw deal by living in Indiana -- try living in the State that hates Evolution. (And gay marriage.) It's like a geographical laughing stock.
