Apparently, the ACLU is pushing for inmates to have access to porn.
Personally, I think this is an outrage!! I mean, who are we to deny prisoners the right to porn no matter how much it costs the taxpayers? The ACLU nailed it, porn is a right for all just like health care or welfare or social security etc. Thanks God we have organizations like the ACLU to protect all of our rights. Without them, we could have a continuous pornless prison system!! :'(

Originally posted by whodey What I have never understood is why prostitution is illegal but porn is legal.
Can anyone splain this to me?
Isn't a porn star almost by definition a prostitute? He/she is engaging in sex in return for money.
But I would guess that the legalities surrounding it have to do with the potential for exploitation - but then I cant argue any further than that.
Most likely the law makers like looking at porn but don't engage prostitutes (or at least are very ashamed of doing so).
Originally posted by whodey Since we are asking questions lately about what is a right, what do you think of porn in prisons?
I think the real question is what you believe prisons are all about.
Are they punishment?
Are they to keep people away from society?
The basic problem I think you have is that the tax payer has to pay to keep prisoners alive and grant them basic rights and you don't like paying all that money for someone you see as having ripped off society.

I think its kinda like illegal immigration. Sure there are laws to uphold, but we don't like them so we won't enforce them.
Originally posted by KazetNagorra It doesn't make sense, obviously both should be legal.
It not only should be legal, it should be a right that the state imposes. In other words, if I'm a prisoner or a poor person in the ghetto, the government should flip the bill for me to see porn.

It seems your call has already been answered.
In some countries such as Estonia,[3] France,[4] Finland,[5] Greece[6] and Spain,[7] Internet access has already been made a human right. This is accomplished by authorizing universal service-contracted providers with the duty to extend a mandatory minimum connection capability to all remaining desiring home users in the country.
