Mein Kampf in, Charlie Brown Christmas out for inmates in this state

[88m3]

Texas Prisons Ban 10,000 Books. No ‘Charlie Brown Christmas’ for Inmates.

The nearly 150,000 inmates in Texas prisons are barred from using Facebook, possessing cellphones and receiving snacks in the mail. They are also prohibited from reading the pop-up edition of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” “The Color Purple” and the 1908 Sears, Roebuck catalog.

The publications are among the 10,000 titles banned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, a list that includes best sellers like “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “A Time to Kill” and even obscure works, such as the “MapQuest Road Atlas.” Not banned: “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler and books by white nationalists, including David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard.

This entire system needs to be destroyed. I really think that the only way to reform is to annihilate the "before"

I've never spent any significant amount of time in the south, but it seems impossibly backwards.

I dont believe inmates should have access to social media in the first place.

What about libraries ?

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Not surprised. If they can cripple child education with dumbed down textbooks of course they're going to do this to prisoners.

As you can see our repubs down here are a special brand of far right wing "small government" fukktards.

What about libraries ?

Taking away books is going too far, but I don't think criminals should have access to cell phones and social media
