“Roadside Notes” prisoner Ken from Matsqui writes in to note the
unfortunate reality that prisoners mostly just read porn in prison and
therefore, trying to encourage them to develop political insight and
analysis is an up-hill battle. He concludes with: “Smash sexist
attitudes and female exploitation now!”(2) While prisoner Joe Remiro
from California writes in anger at the denunciations of porn arguing
that prisoners need it and, unfortunately, Larry Flint is the one who
stepped up to the plate to supply it. “How many feminists would
consider taking over his role and send prisoners some flicks to help
fight the vicious sexual repression of prisoners?”
“Censored” page 7, reports that the editorial board of Odyssey were
told by the CPS that they could not use words such as “oppression,
suppression, harassment, alienation, pain and bloodlust” or print
“anything that could be construed as 'being negative towards the
penitentiary system.'”(7)
