Arkansas以缺乏法律权威为由,在立法批准之前推迟禁止监狱书籍。 Arkansas delays prison book ban pending legislative approval, citing lack of legal authority.

阿肯色州推迟执行对监狱外部书籍、杂志和报纸的计划禁令,理由是需要立法批准。 Arkansas has delayed implementing a planned ban on outside books, magazines, and newspapers in prisons, citing the need for legislative approval. 该政策旨在防止毒品走私——如K2-带带材料——在官员认识到他们没有权力在不修改国家法律的情况下执行该政策之后暂停执行。 The policy, aimed at preventing drug smuggling—such as K2-laced materials—was paused after officials realized they lacked authority to enforce it without state law changes. 虽然2021年至2025年期间,据报发生了25起与邮寄出版物有关的毒品事件,但批评者认为,禁令有害康复和教育,特别是以前被监禁的个人的康复和教育。 While over 25 drug incidents linked to mailed publications were reported between 2021 and 2025, critics argue the ban harms rehabilitation and education, especially for formerly incarcerated individuals. 宣传团体反对这一行动,强调与工作人员有关的偷运是一个更大的问题。 Advocacy groups oppose the move, emphasizing that staff-related smuggling is a larger issue. 在2026年财政会议预期的立法者采取行动之前,囚犯仍可通过非营利机构和图书馆接收外部印刷材料。 Until lawmakers act—expected in a 2026 fiscal session—prisoners can still receive outside printed materials through nonprofits and libraries.
