‘Cruel and unusual’: Inmate sues jail for denying him porn
Published On Mon Jul 4 2011
Associated Press
MOUNT CLEMENS, MICH. — A Michigan jail inmate says he’s being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because he can’t have pornography.
In a handwritten lawsuit, 21-year-old Kyle Richards claims his civil rights are being violated at the Macomb County Jail.
Richards says denying his request for erotic material subjects him to a “poor standard of living†and “sexual and sensory deprivation.â€
The Michigan Department of Corrections tells The Detroit News that prisons allow some pornographic material, though it’s banned at the jail.
The American Civil Liberties Union says prisons have a lot of leeway.
Richards was charged with bank robbery after police followed a trail of snowy footprints and dropped money to his apartment from a bank robbery scene in January in Fraser, north of Detroit.
Richards pleaded guilty. Sentencing is Aug. 2.

Even better:
Who you callin' an inmate?
The family of a coldblooded killer serving 25 years to life in state prison for shooting a man in the head complains he's being stigmatized -- by the use of the term "inmate."
The label "implies that our brother is locked up for the purpose of mating with other men," claims Marie Domond in a lawsuit against the state Correctional Services Department.
The Brooklyn federal court filing demands that officials immediately stop calling Gerard Domond "an inmate."
It apparently hurts his feelings. Sis seeks $50 million damages for "mental anguish."
