Tracking Prison Censorship in the United States

The correspondence was disapproved in accordance with Title 15, Section 3136 as it pertains to Sections 3006 and or 3135:

Title 15, Section 3006, CONTRABAND, state in part:
(c)(5), Plans to disrupt the order, or breach the security, of any facility (such as riot, escape, strike, etc.)

Additional Information: MIM letter dated September 1, 2011, states in part that "This letter is going out to activists in California to update you on the latest information and keep the organizing moving forward." This statement is referring to the hunger strike which took place between June and July of 2011. The letter goes on to state "The struggle is a protracted one and we need to continue to learn how to work better together and in opposition to the oppressor. We need to get organized and we need to study and learn."

The disposition of the letter/mailing is as follows:
Other (describe): Confiscated by SHU ISU. The mailing is disallowed as per the CCR, Title 15, Sections 3006, 3135, and 3136.

1. Contains information about performing work stoppages. 2. Photos of dead klan members (cartoons).

"3 separate newsletters appear to have been delayed at other facility but no action taken."

I have attempted to challenge this confiscation via the offender grievance process, however SVCF case manager Marty Hale refuses to provide me with a grievance form. On 8/9/2011 he responded to my request by yelling at me, becoming irate, stating: "Fuck your grievance." "Every time an issue comes up you want to file a grievance, fuck you." "You're just a sniveling complaining bitch." "You bitch." and "Stick a grievance up your ass." To date I have been denied a grievance form.
