Prison Porn Policy Under New Scrutiny

SD Department of Corrections

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals is again considering a South Dakota inmate's challenge to prison policies on pornography.

The appellate court heard the case in 2018 and sent it back to South Dakota federal court for a new approach to assessing the policy.

That new order was issued a year ago. The Department of Corrections disagreed with the federal district judge's findings and appealed. The Eighth Circuit heard those arguments last week.
