Key legal question
Whether the refusal to allow a private PlayStation in pre-trial detention violated personal liberty under Art. 10(2) BV.
Extracted holding
No. The restriction was based on the prison house rules, served legitimate security and orderly-administration interests, and remained proportionate because detainees still had substantial access to radios, television, books, and magazines.
Extracted reasoning
Detention may limit freedom rights to the extent required by the purpose of custody and orderly prison operation. Private electronic devices can pose control and misuse risks, and the state need not provide every technically possible form of entertainment in detention.
