Prison Playboy Ban Upheld WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the federal government to ban prisoners from getting Playboy, Penthouse and other sexually explicit publications. The high court without any comment or dissent rejected an appeal by three inmates, Playboy Enterprises Inc., the publisher of Penthouse magazine and a publishing trade organization in a free-speech challenge to the ban. The justices let stand a federal appeals court ruling that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons may enforce legislation adopted by Congress in 1996 requiring wardens to stop the distribution of any material that is "sexually explicit or features nudity."
