Why are prisons cruelly censoring sci-fi, fantasy, and magical literature?

Imaginative Books Pose No Real Threat

• Fantasy and sci-fi novels are frequently banned in prisons as "safety threats" though no danger is posed.

• The censorship of magical literature excessively limits creative escape and mental freedom for inmates.

• Restricting entire fictional genres seems motivated by control and restricting imaginative thinking.

Many prisons unjustly target and ban fantasy literature which provides mental escape, unjustly restricting creative freedom and privately enjoyed entertainment that poses no real security risk.
