New Mexico Court Orders Printed Magazines for Inmates Amid Censorship Lawsuit
A federal court in New Mexico has issued a preliminary injunction, allowing inmates to receive printed copies of Prison Legal News while a censorship lawsuit is ongoing. The ruling blocks a 2021 memo that banned magazines, stating it doesnt serve any real prison security need. The court also mandates clear notices for rejected mail, not just return to sender stamps. The lawsuit, filed by the Human Rights Defense Center, challenges state officials over a mail policy that scans and digitizes incoming items for tablet viewing, which inmates argue is dehumanizing and ineffective in curbing contraband.
