Court upholds prisoners' right to porn
 

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Convicted sex offenders in Sweden are free to read pornography in their cells following a court ruling that has angered the prison service.

The Supreme Administrative Court in Stockholm last week ruled that the Swedish Prison and Probation Service had no right to deny a rape convict access to his porn magazines.

Prison officials had argued that reading porn would interfere with the man's rehabilitation program. They also said the magazines posed a security problem for staff and other inmates because they could increase the risk of the man relapsing into criminal behavior.

But the court, whose ruling cannot be appealed, said the prison service failed to prove that the magazines could "jeopardize the security of the institution."
Prison officials said they had asked the government to change the law so that they could continue to ban porn magazines at the Nordic nation's prisons.

"It increases the risk of assault for other interns and it is provocative for personnel," Elisabeth Kwarnmark, a prison service psychologist, said about the ruling.

Kwarnmark said that other pornographic material, such as adult movies, channels and Web sites, are not permitted in Swedish prisons. Child and violent pornography are also banned.

I find it amazing how other cultures will provide free porn to sex offenders, and free clean needles to a junkie.
So I wonder what a bank robber would get? maybe free $$$ :scratchin

I'm pretty sure that having orgasms reduces a person's overall tendencies towards violence in the short term. So, I'm PRO-PORN for prisoners -- as long as it isn't CP or zoo.

Absolutely,
Give them what they want and just enough to satisfy they're need, so they'll shut up and maybe disappear?
Kinda "outta sight, outta mind" policies?
Definite the way to go there man :hmm:
