STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - Convicted sex offenders are free to read pornography in their cells, a Swedish court ruled, saying the country‘s prison system had no right to deny an imprisoned rapist access to his porn magazines.

But the Supreme Administrative Court in Stockholm, whose ruling last week cannot be appealed, said the prison service failed to prove that the magazines could "jeopardize the security of the institution."

"It increases the risk of assault for other inmates and it is provocative for personnel," Elisabeth Kwarnmark, a prison service psychologist, said in response to the ruling.
