Folks--
We just ran into an odd situation. We got a request about
rock-hounding/mineral collecting/gold panning in Washington State from a
fellow incarcerated in a state prison in another state. We were all set
to send out an ordinary response, when we heard back from the prison: They
said prisoners are **never** to receive maps-- that means maps of any
place, whether near their own prison or not. Text is OK; maps are
strictly forbidden.
Have you encountered this kind of thing before? Is there some
kind of UW/WAML/Magert/LC policy/statement on this kind of thing?
Thanks.
