A Michigan jail inmate says he's being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because he can't have pornography in his cell. In a handwritten lawsuit, 21-year-old Kyle Richards claims his civil rights are being violated at the Macomb County Jail. Richards says denying his request for erotic material subjects him to a "poor standard of living" and "sexual and sensory deprivation." The Michigan Department of Corrections admits that prisons allow some pornographic material, though it's banned at their jail. The American Civil Liberties Union says prisons have a lot of leeway. Richards was charged with bank robbery after police followed a trail of snowy footprints and dropped money to his apartment from a bank robbery scene in January.
A woman has been arrested for to smuggle her husband out of jail in a suitcase. Quintana Roo Police in Mexico say the woman had been there for a conjugal visit, and when she was leaving, staff at the prison in Chetumal noticed that she was pulling a black bulky suitcase on wheels. When they asked to inspect the suitcase of 19-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona, they found her partner, Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside. She was charged and arrested for the stunt.
