Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the prisoner's request to acquire and use flight simulation software on DVD had to be allowed
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The refusal was lawful because prison authorities may prohibit media whose control creates excessive security and administrative burdens, and a DVD's greater storage capacity justified the ban.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted that data carriers in prison must be controlled and that the storage capacity of the medium is a suitable criterion for restriction. The prison's interest in security, orderly operation, and avoiding disproportionate control efforts outweighed the inmate's entertainment preference.
