Ban on newspapers?!

This philadelphia news report explains a suit filed by inmates to lift a ban on newspapers in a local prison. I can't decide whether the newspaper ban seems like a ridiculous policy resultant from centralized prison control and lack of competition, or if the prisoners have some nerve thinking they're entitled to reading materials. Either way its ridiculous to tie up tax payers dollars with litigation costs to solve this dispute.
