Military Prison Blocks Chelsea Manning from Reading EFF Blog Posts

Prisoners do not lose all rights when they step behind bars. Not only are prisoners allowed to access a wide range of news articles, legal documents, and other education materials, but as a society we should actively encourage prisoners to access materials that help them better understand their rights and the legal system. Prisoners like Manning who want to stay up on events that can directly impact them and others should be supported, not prevented, from accessing information.
