And finally… bog off

Three inmates at a prison in the US state of Delaware brought a lawsuit after being forced to use newspaper for two-and-a-half days last August.

However, a federal judge dismissed the case, concluding that a lack of toilet paper is unpleasant but not a matter of human rights or the constitution.

The lawsuit, brought by Isaac Pierce and two cellmates who subsequently withdrew, was ruled to be frivolous, NBC reports.
