The only restriction to 'read The Bible' in public schools is during class time to teach it's religious content. Religion can't be taught in public school. Anyone may read the Bible in school at a time and place that would be appropriate for any other non-curriculum material, for example comics, magazines, non school related books, etc. Private schools have their own rules on material that can be read in class. Private schools can include the Bible as part of the curriculum because the parents have selected that school and its curriculum for their child to attend.

Reading the Bible, the Qu'ran, or any other religious text in prison is permitted because the prison is not teaching the religion; inmates choose this reading material or attendance at religious meeting of their own volition.
