An inmate is suing Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and the state, claiming he is being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because county jail rules ban pornographic materials. Kyle Richards, 21, is also arguing that porn should be provided by taxpayers if the inmate does not have the financial means to pay for it. Richards has been in jail since January after being charged with bank robbery. Police say he stole about $900 after handing a bank teller a note.
