returned to sender on the claim they appeared to be for a course. MAPS
[Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies]--their publication
was sent back several times because maps are not allowed in here. High
Times was repeatedly denied because it posed a danger to the safe, secure
and orderly operation of the institution. 'Smut mags' like Hustler are
reviewed monthly."
* "There' s a whole new genre of men' s magazines--Maxim, Stuff,
For Him--which show it all except for nipples and beaver. Now the feds
want to ban Maxim due to 'security' reasons. The 'rejected mail' slip
they send you when some verboten material arrives has boxes to check (to
specify offending matter), one of which says 'pubic hair.' "
* "Peace activist William Combs spent eight days in solitary
confinement for receiving and sharing with other inmates what federal
authorities consider disruptive, if not subversive, political literature. The
offending 'propaganda' included commentary by such extremists as Bill
Moyers and Ellen Goodman, and included an article published in
Reader' s Digest. The common thread was that they all questioned the
wisdom of government policy."
