    Just had my shit seized by a guard, they are claiming my photo album full of news stories about my case is “contraband.” Relevant caselaw is Clement v Cal Dept. of Corrections (9th cir, 2004 if I recall correctly) in which the court determined that possessing prinouts of material from the Internet is a right of prisoners, as is receiving it in the mail.

The gap between what laws state and how the powerful and forceful mete out its consequences ... as that diastema widens ... the citizens will have no bite.

Actually I feel we are there already. We endlessly bark on the internet, but we never use our teeth.
