     In the 1960s, was a crusade to grant prison inmates certain rights and freedoms. This was known as the prisoners' rights movement. Prior to this movement, had been common practice for correctional administrators to severely restrict prisoners' freedoms, such as the freedom of speech, press and religion guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. For example, prison authorities they restricted the inmates' reading material and censored the prisoners' mail as well. Wasn't until the prisoners' rights movement that these practices changed. Since then, prisoners' First Amendment rights cannot be denied; they can only be modified when is a compelling reason to do so, such as to maintain institutional or state security.
