Detroit – A Michigan inmate is suing Gov. Rick Snyder and the state over his prison's ban on pornographic materials, claiming he is being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, the Detroit News reported.

In a handwritten lawsuit filed June 10 in US District Court in Detroit, Kyle Richards said the porn ban has "been used as a method of 'psychological warfare' against prisoners, in order to both destroy the morale of inmates and break the spirit of individuals."

The Macomb County jail where Richards is imprisoned does not allow inmates to possess porn, the newspaper reported.

However, instead of suing the county Richards has sued the state, which does allow inmates in state prisons to possess pornography -- with the exception of material depicting simulated rape, bestiality and sadomasochism, a Department of Corrections spokesman said.

Richards, 21, has been in jail since January and pleaded guilty to charges of bank robbery on Thursday. He will be sentenced in August.

OMG, what a moron! I am sick of these prisoners pulling crap like this. They should not be allowed to get porn in there. Prison and Jail is supposed to be a punishment, not a club hangout.

Not to mention the sexual harassment that happens to the female officers and female staff members who are being sexually harassed as a result of porn in prison.

Whatever.......

Gotta love the porn. I think it is entertaining at certain times.

I guess he will have to abuse himself without assistance from the state!
