Given the amount of journalists heading to jail recently, perhaps this
is true.

It is a common request in prison libraries that the Koran be placed on
the highest shelf because it is supposed to be the highest thing in the
room. Perhaps this is where it has come from.

Subject: Urban myth?
Peter Mullen claims in the Daily Mail "Public libraries have been
instructed to place Bibles on the highest shelf - as if they were some
sort of pornography likely to deprave and corrupt."
Has anyone on this list heard of such an instruction? Or suggest the
origin of this claim? Or is it another urban myth?
