The Rutherford Institute and others are working on this:

STAFFORD, Va. — The Rutherford Institute, in conjunction with the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Virginia, the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, Prison Fellowship, the Friends Committee on National Legislation and the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, has demanded that officials at the Rappahannock Regional Jail immediately end their illegal practice of censoring religious material sent to detainees.

In a letter sent today to the jail’s superintendent, Joseph Riggs, Jr., The Rutherford Institute asks that jail officials guarantee in writing that the jail will no longer censor biblical passages from letters written to detainees and to revise the jail’s written inmate mail policy to state that letters will not be censored simply because they contain religious material

I checked every news account I could find, but couldn’t identify the jail’s rationale for their policy. I’m assuming it is just somebody being a goofball. You see a lot of that in the world. Generally, it doesn’t mean much more than that someone is being a goofball…

This story makes no sense at all. I can’t figure out the reasoning behind the policy.

And maybe that is because there is no reasoning.
