Book Burning in the Electronic Age?

Via LISNews: Prison destroys inmates' writing

Okay...I get the whole making-sure-prisoners-don't-profit-from-their-crimes thing, but these women didn't; they simply wrote about their experiences as prisoners. I can see blocking the award of money or whatever, but there's really no sense in setting up a 'rehabilitative' writing class if you're then going to destroy the work of the students, is there?
