SACRAMENTO (AP) - State officials have banned inmates from receiving pornography after a growing number of female prison guards said they find the materials offensive.

Inmates are no longer allowed to receive pornographic magazines, along with photos, drawings and other depictions of nudity.

But as the number of female correctional officers has increased, there has been a corresponding rise in complaints about inappropriate conduct by male inmates, Heimerich said.

You mean like in bars? Pornography corrupts everywhere and everyone.....

What does it say about pronography and sexual nudity in the bible? Men will always make excuses about this....but deep down they know it's wrong, it corrupts and degrades.

I totally don't see a problem with this ban on nude images in prison. They are IN PRISON, for goodness sakes, and I also think part of the problem is TOO Much Liberalism going on overall in our so-called "society". Much less respect for both men and women in our lives, much less...

"Something smart has happened in Sacramento."

No disagreement from me. Arizona DOC has banned these amenities for some time. Sheriff Joe Arpaio did the same in Maricopa County, along with coffee and smokes!

If a prisoner wants access to porn he should ....

Turn on HBO's Sex and the City.

Anita Hartman, whose husband is at the state prison in Lancaster, agreed, saying the ban could lead to an increase in rape and other violence among inmates.

I would guess just the opposite. I bet it leads to a decrease, not increase.

I doubt dieting and taking cold showers is going to do much for long term stress management

Long term, even thinking about a diet or a cold shower would be stressful enough not to even think about it.

I would much rather they *take care of business* with a Playboy, than do it staring at me through their cell window.

Actually, they do both. I suspect there may be a lot more staring through cell windows, but time will tell on that.

Yuck. Does mean that female prisoners will have to take down their Antonio Banderas posters?

I am not sure the subject has come up yet at women's joints, though some lawyer will no doubt bring that to someones attention.

They shouldn't get anything, least of all porn. They should be chained together digging ditches, working in swamps and sleeping.

perhaps not do it right in front of other people.

Privacy booths in the cells? The female guards don't need to ogle some guy cleaning his pipes.

Bottom line question.

Why are there dildos and vibrators on the market? Seems to me that women have similar sexual release requirements as men but the methodology is different. Why are the dykes and nuns here so hypocritical?

Bottom line question.

How come we never hear the male guards reporting sexual harrassment by their female prisoners?
