Ban of books in US prisons.

Tens of thousands of books are banned from US prisons, a report said, including a primer on drawing, a book about tying knots and textbooks teaching inmates foreign languages.

Security Fears

Prison authorities across the country cite vague "security" fears or worries over sexual content for their bans which prevent America's 1.2 million inmates from reading often inocuous-sounding texts sent by friends, campaigners, publishers or bookstores.

Report by Pen America

A study by PEN America, a literacy advocacy group, found differing and inconsistently enforced policy resulted in a "staggering" number of books never passing a prison mailroom. Around half of America's 50 states keep a centralised list of banned books, with many others implementing ad-hoc systems often at a prison  mailroom level, the group says.

23,000

Titles are banned in Florida, thus, being an enthusiastic censor. Texas was second with around 10,000.

My take

Crazy!

Tailpiece.

Got up at a half past 5, the chores and was ready by a half past 9.

The maid was at work.

Went across to my bank and got my Digital Life Certificate uploaded. Jishnu had helped me with it.
