Silly that in some states felons are regaining a right to vote and in others the prison industrial complex marches on. There are certain non-profits that collect books by donation and after being inspected by prison officials are made available to prisoners either for free or on loan.
Worth checking your state's policy on the matter. I was happy to see the FCC which I often view as criminally commercially biased help out with cost of inmate telephone calls. This is just as bad or worse! Books occupy the mind, help build our faculties and keep us out of trouble. "Idle hands are the Devil's playground" :'(
I know, don't encourage prisoners to read or go to school. Just send them to the gym and out to play tough guy in the yard.
