No Electric Guitars in Prison (2003/02/17)
美國監(jiān)獄對電吉他說"不"(2003/02/17)
Inmates do not have a constitutional right to play electric guitar in federal prison, a U.S. appeals court ruled.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a ban on guitars, keyboards or other electronic instruments for federal prisoners, ruling it does not violate their constitutional right to express themselves musically.

By a 2-1 vote, the panel upheld the rationale by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons for the ban and rejected a challenge by inmates Brett Kimberlin and Darrell Rice, who wanted to play electric guitars at a federal prison in Cumberland, Maryland.

In 1995, when the ban went into effect, the only instrument allowed in the Cumberland prison was the harmonica, but inmates who already had a guitar or electronic keyboard were allowed to keep them.

近日美國美國哥倫比亞巡回地區(qū)上訴法院規(guī)定,聯(lián)邦監(jiān)獄中的囚犯不允許在獄中彈奏電吉他,因為憲法沒有賦予他們這樣的權(quán)力。

該法院對禁止服刑犯人擁有電吉他、鍵盤或其他電子樂器的禁令。盡管憲法規(guī)定囚犯有權(quán)在獄中用音樂表達自己,但該法院認為這一禁令并不與之沖突。

通過一項2對1的投票表決,上訴法院通過了美國聯(lián)邦監(jiān)獄管理局對獄中囚犯使用電吉他的禁令,并拒絕了囚犯達雷爾·賴斯和布雷特·金伯林想要在馬里蘭坎伯蘭監(jiān)獄彈奏電吉他的要求。

1995年該禁令實行后,坎伯蘭監(jiān)獄的囚犯們被允許擁有的樂器就只剩下口琴了,但在此之前已經(jīng)有電吉他或鍵盤的囚犯被批準可以保留這些樂器。
