Prisoner wins legal right to send fiancée letters covered with his semen in lawsuit.
A German prisoner has won a landmark legal battle for his prisoner's rights, securing the right to send semen-covered fiancée letters after the Hagen Regional Court found no legal basis for the prison's disciplinary action.
A prisoner has prevailed in an unusual legal dispute granting him permission to mail letters covered in his own semen to his fiancée after a German court's decision.
However, prison officials halted the explicit correspondence after determining the fluid-covered letters presented a significant health hazard, reports Daily Star.
According to German legal publication Beck Aktuell, the prisoner maintained the prohibition stifled his sexual fantasies and infringed upon his fundamental right to the free development of his personality.
In an unexpected development, the Hagen Regional Court sided with the prisoner, determining there was "no legal basis" for the prison's disciplinary action.
The legal publication indicated that the prisoner was found guilty of just one technical infraction - by containing semen, the correspondence technically qualified as a "package" instead of a regular letter. »
