Yeah, ive seen that other places too. Problem with that is, ANYTHING can be sharpened to take an edge. I could just as easily sharpen a plastic spoon as i could a metal sword, and itd be just as deadly. This is the exact reason they dont allow prisoners to take items to and from their cells, they could easily make a weapon. The only real difference that makes steel better for blades is, it holds an edge far longer than most other materials, almost forever. Not saying their policy is wrong, its just a precaution, and trying to be safe never hurts. But it really is meaningless, and im glad to see this con knows that and doesnt have that rule.
