Horrible news from #Texas: Effective April 1, 2026, "all books mailed to inmates [in state prisons run by #TDCJ] must be softback and in new condition."

We've never been accused of drug smuggling, so it's annoying to see drug smuggling cited as the reason for the new policy.

A Texas inmate hijacked a prison bus last summer, evaded authorities for weeks, and brutally killed a Tomball man and his four grandsons.
It was one of the deadliest prison escapes in U.S. history.
