Whether the Indiana Department of Corrections' confiscation of publications violates an inmate's First Amendment rights to receive printed materials without demonstrating a legitimate security threat

No question identified. : QUESTIONS PESENTED 1. My right to receive publications from outside sources is being infringed upon by the Indiana Department of Corrections through the use of misrepresentation and outright lies. For the Indiana Department of Corrections to legally confiscate my publications they must be able to show a legitimate and reasonable threat in the confiscated publication. The Indiana Department of Correction has no legitimate reason for the confiscation of my publications, so they have proceeded to blatantly lie about what is in my ==■ books, particularly the confiscated role playing books. The only claims which the Indiana Department of Corrections has made about my confiscated which may possibly be true are their claim that the book “Absolute Mayhem: Secret Confessions of a Porn Star ” by Monica Mayhem may possibly have one orp more photographs which may contain nudity, and their claim that the magazine “StorErotica ” may possibly contain nudity. Even assuming the Indiana Department of Corrections claims about the later publications are true, a photograph which has a bare breast and/or genitalia still poses absolutely no threat to anyone or anybody incarcerated in an adult prison. 2. The Indiana Department of Corrections claims that they must copy all letters and photograph which enter the prison through the mail to stop the introduction of drugs into the facility. While the stated goal is admirable, their actions are more restrictive than is necessary, and utterly fail to successfully meet the stated goal. The courts have previously ruled that printed matter such as books, magazines, newspapers and the like are not to be confiscated, copied, censored, or altered unless a legitimate and reasonable threat can be shown to stem from that item or it came from a noncommercial entity. Though not specifically named, photographs should be held to this same standard, as they are in this case copyrighted, commercially sold printed matter. The Indiana Department of Corrections claims there are drugs on every piece of mail. Obviously, that claim is ludicrous, however if they want to make that claim, I should still have a due process right to prove otherwise. The Indiana Department of Corrections refuses to allow me to prove there are no drug or other substances on my mail. The additionally refuse to follow the law, which gives them the right to open and take action on my mail, which they have claimed in unenforceable in other cases, yet somehow miraculously still find a way to enforce if it involves something they want to.
