All they do is make people unhappy, Montag. An exciting new pilot program in New York's state prison system is aimed at cutting down on contraband getting to prisoners by limiting package deliveries to prisoners to items purchased and shipped from a limited number of authorized vendors, which will be the only source of outside packages allowed. If the pilot program's deemed a success, the restrictions will expand to all the state's prisons. No more cell phones hidden inside Bibles from home, no more Oxycontin tablets sewn into shirt hems, and of course, no more perfectly innocent shipment of homemade cookies, either, because prison is meant to be hard. Also, uh-oh, unless the approved vendors expand their offerings of books,
I found it to be a mass of contradictions and I was ten when I first read it all the way through.New Testament is not related to the old at all. And revelations is a glimpse into a madman's mind.
The two royal accountants approached King Conan and stood at attention.
The King, escorted by the warden and the captain of the prison guard,had been inspecting the Royal Prison for almost five hours now. He had examined the cells and had sampled the food. He had toured every nook and cranny of the dismal fortress from the lowest, rat swarmed, dungeons to the warden's luxurious office suite. While he had been doing this his accountants had made a thorough examination of the prison ledgers. They had now caught up to the King as he was touring the "kitchen".
King Conan acknowledged them with a nod.
"Make your report."
"It is our sad duty, your majesty, to inform you that the information you received of waste and fraud here are completely substantiated by the account ledgers. We recommend you turn this matter over to your Overseer Attorney General immediately."
"Thank you. You may go."
The royal accountants withdrew as the King now turned to the warden.
"Tell me warden, do you think that I led a rebellion to topple the tyrant to help you turn human beings, whatever their faults, into vermin; to make men sleep in filth, to torture them, to feed them slop and make them drink sewage? Do you think I suffered and struggled and bled so that you could treat people like this?"
The warden started to stammer and even glance around for some escape, some place to scurry to where Conan's bone freezing scowl did not reach. But there was no place such as that in this filthy "kitchen".
With an oath the King pounced upon the warden and dragged him over to a nearby cauldron where some greasy stew bubbled. With effortless strength the King ducked the warden's head into the foul broth! And then the King simply stood there while the warden struggled to raise his head.
While the warden drowned the King now turned his glare to the captain of the guards.
"Assemble your men. Bid them come and taste this dish I have prepared for them. Tonight they will eat from this pot till every last drop is gone."
maybe they're trying to pull the same shit NJ just did. they banned a book called “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” by Michelle Alexander until the ACLU freaked out and they had to unban it. anyway why don't they just allow each inmate to have a kindle, awfully hard to smuggle anything in a download

“Furthermore, it is patently false to suggest that individuals in DOCCS custody will not have access to books, magazines, or other literature.”
That feels a lot like “Everyone will still have access to healthcare without Obamacare...”

Those in charge would just hoover up any profit or benefit to promote bigger and better cruelty.
That seems to be the current standard, yes.
For Christ's sake, even Stalin's gulags allowed prisoners to receive packages from home.
Nothing like a captive audience.

They put the conservatives on an island for the safety of everyone else. Dubbed Micro-man for their inability to look at what is best for all.
