Rather than censor information leaving prison, we should encourage communication with the outside world. Yes, there is continued criminal activity occurring between the outside world and the incarcerated population. This illegal activity needs to be monitored, but censoring photos taken inside prison walls makes no sense. All prison censorship should be immediately reviewed by headquarters. The department of corrections across the United States needs to make every effort to keep the line of communication open and support the mental health and wellbeing of incarcerated people and their loved ones.
