Texas Prisons Ban 10,000 Books...

[Crude Abolitionist]

The nearly 150,000 inmates in Texas prisons are barred from using Facebook, possessing cellphones and receiving snacks in the mail. They are also prohibited from reading the pop-up edition of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” “The Color Purple” and the 1908 Sears, Roebuck catalog.

The publications are among the 10,000 titles banned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, a list that includes best sellers like “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “A Time to Kill” and even obscure works, such as the “MapQuest Road Atlas.” Not banned: “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler and books by white nationalists, including David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard.

For inmates, reading is not only a form of escapism during their sentences but also an opportunity to improve their chances of assimilating back into society after their release, reports about literacy in prison have found. In general, inmates suffer from illiteracy or struggle to read at rates far greater than the rest of the population, according to a 1994 study of inmates in federal and state prisons.

Also banned is the 2005 best seller “Freakonomics,” which challenges conventional wisdom and argues eyebrow-raising theories, including the theory that the drop in violent crime in the 1990s can be attributed to the legalization of abortion in 1973.

The sections of “Freakonomics” that discuss race, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said, led it to be banned.

Texas Prisons Ban 10,000 Books. No ‘Charlie Brown Christmas’ for Inmates.

Here is the list of the books they have banned in full. Why do Texas prisons ban 'Freakonomics' but not Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'? | Crime | Dallas News

Just awful they want to keep the people in prison dumb they don't want them to better themselves or question their reality. They want these people locked in chains in both physically and mentally.

More stories to come. Slavery was never abolished.
