Not on you, but forbidding porn due to it being a correctional environment seems inhumane. I'm sure they'd be happier with access to at normal porn. Restrict illegal shit of course

The problem is that many of the people inside are violent sexual offenders and porn can be used as currency in the illegal prison economy. I have no issues with porn personally but it was my job to enforce the policy. I was really only interested in illegal porn which is clearly defined in Canadian law.

Was there a reason for not only allowing connections to specific whitelisted domain's?

There were a number of people who had the legitimate and sanctioned need to access prohibited material (I was one of them). At the time (and even now) it is virtually impossible to open every website that someone might need to access. Personal use was allowed as long as it didn't impact your work and was inside the guardrails. We tried using Websense back then and it was a disaster. Virtually everyone complied with policy. There were a very small number who didn't and I was responsible for catching them.
