Prisoner Demands Penthouse Subscription

Guess he wanted to catch up on the Forum Letters! A Florida prisoner filed a handwritten lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against Penthouse magazine for not fulfilling his subscription request.

The Daily News reports, "Jorge Niebla, who is serving 13 life sentences for kidnapping and armed robbery, filed the two-page suit in handwritten block letters to Manhattan Federal Court. '[I] would like to purchase the magazine ... but staff are being predjudice and don't have respect for my basic rights,' Niebla wrote in the bizarre filing."

Those rights would be "access to the media." The Post specifies that "Niebla claims he never heard back after he wrote the company in August 2008 and asked for the price and ordering instructions for its April 2007 issue, which features a nude pictorial of burlesque star Dita Von Teese."
