I would say that the need to maintain peace and order in the prison outweighs any rights a prisoner might have to any particular reading material.
Mal, I get your point about any reading being valuable, and I agree completely. So how about free subscriptions to Home & Garden for every inmate? Does it have to be something designed to arouse?
I'm a HUGE art and literature lover--I have a BA in English Lit for crying out loud--but when you're in prison, I don't see that you have any right to those things, especially when they can be shown to impact prison security and the safety of other inmates.
