Tracking Prison Censorship in the United States

[notification does not specify what the "1 correspondence" in question is]

[this notice appears to be referring to an outgoing letter from this comrade]
"not to allow you to mail 1 letter advocating circumventing tdcj correspondence rules, 1 unapproved inmate to inmate via 3rd party in contradiction with BP-03.91"

[notice does not specify what the "correspondence" in question is]
"...contain security concerns which would disrupt prison..."

To whom it may concern,

On 3-29-2022 I was given a lay-in for "Mailroom/Denial." Upon arrival at mailroom I was notified the two items were being inspected by "MSCP" in Huntsville. The two items in question were a publication, "Under Lock & Key" and another piece of correspondence from "Tx T.E.A.M. O.N.E.". According to Offender Orientation Handbook at page 118 section F. "Content Inspection of Publications", "the MSCP shall render a decision within two weeks of receipt at the MSCP office." My question is: when were these items sent to and received by MSCP Office? When will I receive notification of MSCP decision? Although the information as written in Offender Handbook under "Uniform Offender Correspondence Rules" seems a bit unclear and confusing (for example, first it states there is a "two week" limit, then it states "offenders do not have to be notified when magazines or books are held for review" -- if I'm not required to be notified how can I possibly know when the "two weeks" start or when the "two weeks" limit is reached???) I'm just making this good-faith effort to resolve this issue informally. Thank you for your time and attention. Have a nice day.

Publications are sent by truck mail. No tracking and they are still being reviewed.

"Publication contains material that a reasonable person would construe as written solely for the purpose of communicating information designed to achieve a breakdown of prisons through offender disruption such as strikes, riots or security threat group activity."

"Reason C. Page(s) 16 contains information that could cause disruption."

On 6/23/2022 the above publication was appealed to the Director's Review Committee with the following decision rendered: DENIED; OFFENDER WILL NOT RECEIVE
