They didn't ban books. They banned books from random sources. Established retailers and other approved sources are not banned and there is a process for becoming approved. If you study corrections at all this is a very common policy and I'm surprised they did not have this already.

Hey friend, some people learn about corrections the hard way, so it's not assumptions and appeals to authority, it's a lived experience.

The approval processes of any vendors come with product restrictions, which function as bans.

Supreme court has upheld that some things can be banned if they are in the interest of maintaining the security of a detention facility. Inmates shouldn't be receiving books on how to make bombs for instance.

More than books on how to make bombs have been banned.[0]

And? My one example is not an exhaustive list, summary, or assessment.

This still does not equate to a ban on books as you have represented.
