Honestly banning Java books is doing any future programmers a service. j/k
But they ban books on all kinds of things, like Buddhism, which I've seen attributed to a fear that prisoners will teleport themselves out of prison or something.
I knew two CO's, both pitiable folk who couldn't pass the police test, so as unsurprising as it should be, prison book policies never cease to surprise me in their unrelenting stupidity.
I always picture that warden from that movie who said something like "the only book you need is the Bible, son"
- Capricorn2481 3y agoI'm sorry, are there really COs that think prisoners will teleport out of prison?
- moi2388 3y agoI too find it hard to believe that there are COs who think.
- bratgpttamer 3y agoReminds me of a line from this article "My results show that green is my dominant color (analytical, curious) and orange is my secondary (free and spontaneous). Green is a rare personality type at Winn. Miss Blanchard doesn’t offer any examples of how greens can be useful in a prison." https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/06/cca-private-prisons-corrections-corporation-inmates-investigation-bauer/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/06/cca-private-pri...
- bratgpttamer 3y agoSomeone out there is so afraid of astral projection that they've also taken the steps of banning maps of the moon: https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1177621471314755584 https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1177621471314755584 "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, someone in the administration will have a lot of explaining to do."

- sterlind 3y agoI feel like that's itching for a challenge on First Amendment grounds. Banning the study of a major world religion seems beyond the pail.
