Imprisoned Cannabis Culture publisher put in solitary confinement for podcasting

The imprisoned publisher of BC's Cannabis Culture magazine, marijuana activist Marc Emery, has been put in solitary confinement because his wife recorded one of their phone conversations for a podcast. According to a post the website 420 Magazine,

On Thursday, June 3, officials at the SeaTac Federal Detention Center in the Washington [State] gave Emery an official citation for allowing his wife, BC Green Party director-at-large Jodie Emery, to record a message from him over the phone, claiming it broke the prison's rule forbidding third-party calls. Emery was locked in a Segregated Housing Unit (SHU) and denied access to books, television, the telephone or contact with his wife and family. He will remain in the SHU until the prison holds an internal "disciplinary hearing" at an undetermined future date.
