Jail Reg Limiting Prisoners' Book Access Not Unconstitutional

Jones v. Salt lake County, 2007 WL 281594 (9/28/07) (Published) - Allowing inmates to receive books only from the publisher or the jail library is not unconstitutional. It doesn't matter that the policy is unwritten and unpublicized. Also okay is prohibiting access to pictures of breasts and genitalia and publications containing information on weapons, escapes, how to make alcohol, how to hide contraband and how to move contraband. While sending the issue back for further consideration, the 10th also suggests banning prisoner access to all catalogs may be just fine.
