    It’s wrong. Incarceration doesn’t mean you lose your citizenship and citizens of the US are still entitled to basic rights such as speech. Prisoners supposedly have rights that protect them from the state.

    We should all be more upset about this

      Prisoners have rights? As the last constitutionally protected form of slaves?

      And yes. It’s wrong.

      I just think if we solve the larger problem this won’t be an issue.

        Prisoners still have the rights of the 1st, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th amendments. They are many cases of prisoners successfully sueing for having those rights violated.

        We shouldn’t act like they don’t exist simply because some of the powers that be want to pretend they don’t

      You do realize though that freedom of speech does not mean freedom to say whatever you want, yes?
