C'punks, I heard back from my friend who was recently released from federal prison. She wrote:
The libraries in federal prisons are hideously inadequate largely because of the policy governing donations to federal prisons...State prisons, however, are a horse of a different color....Funny, but we [Laissez Faire Books] just offered 200+ unsellable books to Books For Prisoners and Long Haul in Berekely today...I'm working with an ex-con who is active with the LP in Cal to offer books to prisoners at a larger discount...
So, if you'd like to get some books into the prison system, you might talk to your local Libertarian Party office or contact the Long Haul in Berkeley. S a n d y

Do the books actually make it onto the shelves? I know that some public libraries aren't interested in mere taxpayers' opinions as to what books they should have, they'll accept your donated books but they'll just sell them. I would suspect the same would likely be true at prison libraries. George
