Lol.
But why?
Smith, the department spokesperson, pointed out that people in prison have access to computers for educational programs and legal research, and that “allowing these types of printed materials presents a substantial risk of misuse” and poses a security threat.

Sounds like the "substantial risk" is due to private companies insisting on using an insecure system and them complaining when inmates want to learn that system to get JOBS.

How are people supposed to integrate back into society?
Puritan roots baby. We basically started from being crazy cultists and are still in the 'calm the hell down' phase. Will we become a civilized society or the first country-wide reality show thunderdome? still unclear

@siriusmart well we can’t have them becoming reformed and getting jobs once they leave can we? No, it’s better we bolster the terrorist cells that prisons are a breeding ground for.
It seems their process is arbitrary at best, malicious at worst.
