Show Notes
New Mexico inmates challenge mail policy, suing for access to books and letters. The policy, aimed at preventing contraband, scans all personal mail in Florida, blocking books, magazines, and stiff packages. Inmates like Bryce Franklin and Aaron Daugherty, fighting for their right to read, have teamed up with the ACLU to sue the New Mexico Corrections Department. The policy, implemented in February 2022, has caused a stir, with inmates reporting stalled growth and fading family ties. The department remains silent amidst the lawsuit, leaving inmates waiting for a fair shot at words that could change their world.
