David Pescovitz:
Convicted murdered Shaun Tuley, incarcerated in HMP Frankland prison in Durham, England, has been denied access to books about magic. From the BBC News:
Tuley, who murdered a 20-year-old prostitute in September 2000, said he had been "refused permission on grounds of 'operational security problems' to purchase a selection of books on the subject of magic, sought in order to be able to pursue my hobby whilst serving a life sentence"...
Magic Circle spokesman David Beckley said: "I can't understand the Prison Service's attitude - unless this man has asked for books on escapology.
"Magicians do have skills which enable them to deceive but this is only in an environment which is controlled by the magician himself."
