According to some
estimates, around three quarters of men (76%) and over
one-third of women (41%) regularly view pornographic material.
However, there remains one place where consumption of porn is
strictly prohibited: prison.
Pornography is currently banned across Australian
prisons, but there are many who believe that allowing the
material could go some way towards easing tensions and aggression
behind bars.
Pornography as Contraband
All prisons across Australia have a long list of items consider
contraband, for which hefty penalties apply.
In NSW
a range of items are banned including drugs, alcohol, tobacco,
syringes, mobile phones, computers and various other goods.
