Inmate sues over missing porn
Someone’s stealing Nebraska State Penitentiary inmate Raul Calderon’s adult magazines, he claimed this week, and he wants a federal judge to get to the bottom of it all.
Calderon, 31, said in legal papers that, since about October, he did not receive between 10 and 15 issues of three magazines he subscribes to. Two of the magazines have been described as pornographic, and the third as “adult male.”
He laid blame on corrections staff, who have singled him out, Calderon said in a lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court.
“Under information and belief I believe (I’m) singled out for I hear how other inmates receive (their) issues,” he wrote.
Calderon said he made inquiries, through the prison’s grievance process, to the prison mailroom and was told no magazines have been processed for delivery to him.
He accuses staff of tampering with his mail and violating his rights under the First and Eighth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. He is seeking up to $500 for each issue not received.
Calderon is serving sentences of 10 to 20 years for attempted second-degree murder, and 5 to 10 years for use of a weapon in Lincoln County.
