Texas prisons ban hardback and used books starting April 1, 2026, to stop drug smuggling, allowing only new softcovers via a vetted donation system.
Starting April 1, 2026, Texas prisons will ban hardback and used books to prevent drug smuggling, as officials report drugs have been hidden in book bindings and pages, contributing to overdoses.
Only new, softcover books will be allowed, with donations processed through the Windham School District to vet materials.
The move, part of broader safety efforts, aims to reduce contraband and protect inmates and staff, despite concerns over limiting reading access.
An online portal will streamline donations.
