  What if the prisoners draw inspiration from Sirius Black or Edmond Dantes and attempt an escape? Banning these books ensures that such thoughts never occur to the inmates. Clearly the wardens have learned the correct lessons from the Shawshank Redemption [1] [1] - https://youtu.be/_359l_9Wyhg?t=48s https://youtu.be/_359l_9Wyhg?t=48s

    FWIW, Harry Potter ISN'T banned: > Arabic copies of Harry Potter (which features a hellish Island prison of its very own) are very popular amongst detainees. Ironically, Harry Potter novels often top US Library’s “Most Banned Books” list.
