An update to this story:

Quote:
A prisoner's friends or relatives can now order books from Blackwell's, Foyles, Waterstones or WH Smith, who will send the books directly to prisons.

These retailers had to meet "set criteria" to be approved, the National Offender Management Service said. Friends and relatives will only be allowed to send books or hand them in themselves in "exceptional circumstances".
