Tag: Book ban/censorship in prisons

Formerly incarcerated advocate Dorsey Nunn said his memoir "What Kind of Bird Can't Fly" has been placed on California’s list of disapproved publications and banned from delivery to people in state prisons, a move Nunn and supporters decried as censorship that undermines rehabilitation and access to literature for incarcerated readers; the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation cited portions of the book as posing a “serious threat to institution security” under Title 15 mail rules, and the publisher may appeal.
