Greetings,
First, we received your May 7 letter addressed to explaining the censorship of a couple pages of Issue 6 of Under Lock & Key before giving the publication to Mr. XXXXX (#0000000). Thank you for specifying the concerns in that matter, as the original evaluation was not clear.
This letter is to request an appeal on the enclosed ?Reading Material Evaluation.? The explanation for censorship of Issue 7 of Under Lock & Key is that it is ?inciting to riot.? It cites 3,4,7, all of which explicitly argue against the use of violence in favor of legal action to address complaints that prisoners may have. I am quite certain that upon review you will find that there are no articles within the publication that incites prisoners to riot, but rather the whole publication repeatedly argues against such behavior.
If you do find any portions of ULK 7 to be objectionable for any reason, please let me know so that we can further address your concerns.
