appropriate to their Incentives and Earned Privileges level, subject to the limitations
in place on the prison's facility list and overarching controls on the total volume
of property held.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners may hold up<em> to 12 books in their cell
at any one time and additional volumes may be stored locally at the prison. </em></p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>Restrictions are applied through local discretion where a book would
be inappropriate due to a prisoner's offence type, or where the book is itself unsuitable,
such as where it gives advice on avoiding detection or how to commit offences, or
is pornographic or extremist. This is a matter for individual Governors and the information
cannot be collected without incurring disproportionate cost.</p>
