Charles Huber, the new chair of the Florida Department of Corrections Literature Review Committee, told
Militant attorney David Goldstein May 14 that it is scheduled to review the decision of Century Correctional Institution prison authorities banning all five March issues of paper from subscribers there. The meeting is set for May 20.
If the bans aren’t overturned, Goldstein said, the paper will file an appeal seeking to reverse the impoundments.
The reasons Century officials gave for the bans reflect nothing other than a flagrant bias against the
Militant and its political point of view. Almost every article they point to in justification for their bans has nothing to with prison conditions.

Prison officials are at it again! Five issues of the
Militant have been banned in Florida and two in Indiana in violation of inmates’ constitutional rights and the right of the
Militant to reach its subscribers behind bars.
On May 3 the paper received notices from the Century Correctional Institution in Florida that they had impounded five straight issues of the paper for March, nos. 8-12.
The articles prison officials say they object to show their blatant bias against the
Militant’s political point of view. Many offer solidarity with strike struggles and union-organizing efforts widely covered by the media nationwide.
