Arizona prisons ban book about the criminal justice system and black men- Paige Bowman

In Arizona prisons, a certain book isn't very welcome. "Chokehold: Policing Black Men" was written by Georgetown law professor and federal prosecutor Paul Butler. It talks about the connection between the justice system and black men. The Arizona Department of Corrections banned the book, and although it is allowed to prevent incarcerated people to read any book of their choosing, many are calling it unconstitutional. It's being considered that way because it's against the First Amendment to censor a book that would help incarcerated inmates understand how legal, penal, and other institutions shape their lives. Arizona is being called to put the book back on the shelves, as well as other books they've banned other the years.
