Source: Sadler Denham, "The Benefits of Prison Pen-Pal Programs" in About Time, quote: "Linnane previously ran an informal pen-pal program for those in prison through his newsletter, which led to it being banned in several prisons in Queensland and Victoria, and removed from tablets in New South Wales prisons." (Note: in its early issues, Paper Chained looked more like a newsletter than a polished magazine.)
