The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Des Moines,
seeks to overturn a
new state law that has shut down designated "pornography reading
rooms" in Iowa's prisons. The law also prohibits inmates
from having nude photos in their cells. The ban includes Playboy
magazine, which has long been allowed in the state's nine prisons, which
hold 8,575 inmates.
The plaintiffs — who are all inmates at the Fort Dodge
Correctional Facility — are led by Allen C. Miles, 70, who is serving a life
sentence for the stabbing death of Cheryl Kleinschrodt on March 3, 1982,
in Des Moines. The suit claims the law was enacted under the guise of
"morality," and blames "religious tyrants" who have no
regard for the U.S. Constitution or Declaration of Independence.
The lawsuit also contends that if female correctional
officers employed in Iowa's prisons for men can't handle an
environment that includes photographic matter featuring female nudity and
related matters that "they should find employment elsewhere."
