The Kansas Department of Corrections has banned more than 7,000 books in prisons across the state.
From Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange to George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, thousands of books have been banned from entering Kansas' state prisons over the last two decades, with hundreds added to the list of"censored" literature over the last two years.
We just received the banned books list from KDOC & it's unbelievable. Kansas has fewer than 10,000 prisoners, yet more than 7,000 books are banned for them, from"A Clockwork Orange" to"Are Prisons Obsolete?"— Books to Prisoners May 29, 2019 "Kansas has fewer than 10,000 prisoners, yet more than 7,000 books are banned for them, from A Clockwork Orange to Are Prisoners Obsolete," the organization said.
At least 60"how-to" books also made the ban list, including How To Make Small Talk by Melissa Wadsworth, How To Paint & Draw by Hazel Harrison, How To Analyze People by Aiden McCoy, How to Disappear by Frank M. Ahearn and Eileen C. Horan and How To Survive Anything, Anywhere by Chris McNab. One book editor, Howard Lovy, weighed in over Twitter that he believed"prison wardens arbitrarily and nonsensically banning books is not really about the books, themselves."
