The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Pennsylvania officials did not violate the free speech rights of troublesome inmates by keeping secular newspapers and magazines away from them. Justices, by a 6-2 vote, said the state could use newspapers as incentives to get inmates in a high-security unit to behave themselves. The ruling could have affected prison operations nationwide if the Court had required state officials to prove that their policies serve legitimate security and rehabilitative interests.
