You know, when I first thought about this, my initial "feelings" were, hey man that sucks, if I was in prison, and I was restricted to certain reading materials, I would be extremely upset. Aside from the art and literature, and getting to the real source of this topic (pornographic content), How can I be in prison surrounded by men, and keep my sanity, if I cannot look a some provacative photographs of women??
Now, after getting that initial thought about of my head, and thinking more reasonable, I think that prisoners are there for a reason. They lose all "privelages" and rights that we in everyday society have. And if/when these prisoners get out, it would be more beneficial that they are reading something more intellectual and encouraging to help benefit then when they are released.
so in the end... I guess there is validity to the ban.
