Hello,
I have a relative in prison and they can only use a cloth chessboard and
cloth chess pieces. Nothing hard like plastic is allowed to avoid the
making of weapons in prison.
Does anyone know where I can buy a set of this nature ?
Maybe there is a jail-bird chess set available -:)
Thanks

It seems only cardboard pieces and boards are allowed.

(Page 9, section VI, second bullet.)
Are we talking Level V, here? It doesn't mention the pieces; only the
board. My reading of that document is that plastic pieces with a
cardboard board (which you could make yourself) are permitted.
Perhaps phone the prison in question to check?
