Fabian Heyward was charged with violating prison rules when officials learmed that he was operating a publishing and book sales company with his spouse.
After he was found guilty of disregarding the facility's "correspondence procedures," Heyward filed an administrative appeal with the Albany County Supreme Court--which transferred the matter to the Appellate Division, Third Department.
Given the "considerable documentary evidence" supporting the underlying determination, the AD3 opted to leave the outcome undisturbed.
That was also published.
