A book that examines the effect of the criminal justice system on black men is reportedly not welcome in Arizona prisons
The book"Chokehold: Policing Black Men," authored by Georgetown law professor and former federal prosecutor Paul Butler, has been banned by the Arizona Department of Corrections, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.In a letter sent last week to the department, the ACLU argues that the ban is unconstitutional.
The author says the ban is a"badge of honor"In a tweet Butler, the book's author, thanked the ACLU for"fighting the ban on my book."He told CNN he reached out to the ACLU after his publisher notified him that the ADC had denied an inmate's request to order the book on the grounds that it was"detrimental to the safe, secure, and orderly operation" of its prisons.
