I'm against censorship, but I'm don't think that censorship is really the issue here. It's one of rehabilitation. One of the reasons they are in prison is that they *don't* have the self control and discipline that comes to be expected of members of a society. So, yeah, porn may cause fights and rapes and be bad for prison moral. But, they are (suposedly) being taught responsibility and self control in prision, albeit very late in life. Perhaps ones that have proven themselves? Moved up to minimun security?
Also, I enjoy porn, but I consider in a luxury. Not a base need. I don't really think prisoners really need Vanilla Lattes, either. But, if they behave and don't rape their cell mate perhaps a visti to Starbucks may be in order.
Porn is fun, but it's not exactly challenging their intellects. Tropic of Cancer, sure. Penthouse Forum ... don't see a real need for it.
