No Frills Prison Act

The No Frills Prison Act was a bill introduced by Congressman Dick Zimmer banning from federal prisons in-cell cable television, R, X, and NC-17 rated movies; instruction or training in martial arts: weightlifting equipment: in-cell coffee pots or heating elements, electronic musical instruments, and R-rated movies. In February 1995, the U.S. House of Representatives accepted Zimmer's "no frills" amendment to the Contract with America Crime bill. Similar bills have been introduced in subsequent sessions.
