Virginia has settled a lawsuit filed by a Muslim inmate who claimed the prisons system violated his rights by refusing him an Islamic newspaper and religious programs.
Red Onion State Prison inmate Kelvin Brown, 37, sued the warden and other prison officials after numerous issues of the weekly Islamic newspaper The Final Call were banned beginning in 2009.
The Department of Corrections bans material it says promotes violence or is detrimental to safety.

Give him the newspaper for goodness sake. But, first, gouge out his eyes.
He’s a criminal he has no rights.
And remove his toilet.
It "ain't" no Caribbean Resort community, it's a GD prison for crying out loud!
Though the right to read a newspaper of your choosing is not sacrosanct Let him read his TP it has the same value as any islamic written word
should have put him in a cell with butch
As an Arab he would have just ‘sucked it up’ and took it.
Most judges it seems want to have their throats cut by islamists. He´ll get his stuff.
In the late 1940s, US Justice Robert Jackson said the US Constitution is not an instrument of national suicide.
Current Federal Judges disagree.
They obviously can’t and won’t live in a civilized society.
Or so we used to think! Now they have more rights than many on the outside. They have a right to housing, food, clothing, and certain items from the commissary. When they get out they have the right to vote Democrat. Soon they will probably receive absentee ballots. About all they don't have is the right to come and go when they want and a prison provided car.
Prison should be rehabilitating those who will return to society and keeping those who won't in a manner that is punishment, not privilege.
the butch i was thinking about is a one timer only...wink wink
They need to go back to the chain gangs. They should be made to work. No work, no eat. Work them 10 hour days 6 days a week. Except for the most hardened of criminals, solitary for them. They’d get baloney sandwiches or pbj sandwiches, oatmeal for breakfast, and what ever else is cheap for dinner, mac and cheese, ect. That would be it. They don’t like it, then don’t commit the crime. Only medical would be basics and emergencies. No SEX CHANGE OPERATIONS...geez CA is nuts. As for the Muslims, no special rights. Your a muslim and you want to pray the way you want and worship the way you want? DON’T FREAKIN COMMIT A CRIME.
