A prisoner rights group says the Kansas Department of Corrections unfairly censors publications even with the adoption of a new policy and the elimination of a banned book list.
The Human Rights Defense Center has cited a list of more than 200 books and magazines that administrators have recently blocked. In May, the center revealed that the prison system maintained a list of 7,000 banned books.
Corrections Secretary Jeff Zmuda abolished the list after his arrival in July. He adopted a policy that allows for the review and appeal of confiscated publications earlier this year.
