Also, jail/prison libraries are woefully lacking in the sort of books you REALLY need.
Yep. So why not do a little something about it? I've been donating books to a local women's prison for awhile: Ayn Rand, history books, old textbooks, etc. can go a long, long way. Go to the local library sale and load up on the fifty cent hardbacks, ten cent classic paperbacks--such a small investment when you think of the good that might come of it. Magazine subscriptions are probably worth looking into, too. I was meaning to do that myself, thanks for the reminder. Of course "what you REALLY need" is in the eye of the beholder, but if more literate, concerned people at least made an effort to get what THEY would want to read into the prisons,it could only be a good thing. I'll never know if I made a difference, but it's the idea that counts. ~Faustine. *** All the resources of a superpower cannot isolate a man who hears the voice of freedom, a voice I heard from the very chamber of my soul. - --Anatoly B Shcharansky -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies.
