Wouldn't "Brokeback Mountain" be deemed an instructional film in prison?

BOSTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- A Massachusetts correctional officer is being disciplined for showing the gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" to inmates at the state's largest prison because his boss determined that the film includes content inappropriate for a prison setting.

They're right; the film is inappropriate. After all, no man-on-man rape took place.

It's just not right to display "Brokeback Mountain" in front of hardened criminals.

As someone here who's actually seen the film, the reason it was inappropriate was the amount of FEMALE nudity in it...

So the subject matter -- two guys alone for a long time with no women start having sex with each other after one rapes/violently seduces (?!) the other -- that's not at issue in a prison facility?

List time. Just what incarcerated men need to see.

Why should prisoners see any movies at all, unless perhaps religious ones that will help them towards repentence?

"(Prison: Sex scenes made film inappropriate)"

Not just for inmates but anyone other than homos. It should be rated F: scenes that depict fags having ..er sex? ..Perversion would be a better term.
