what are some good books/magazines to send to an inmate
my mother is currently in jail the next eight months for a financial crime(if she serves her full sentence it will be about next April when she gets out). I might get flack for supporting a criminal but you know since her crime wasn't against me I guess it is OK to support her in this way. I was wondering what are some good books or magazines to send to an inmate, I honestly don't read much and I was thinking maybe there were some good specific books you can send to an inmate

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
This is a very good question. It is better to know what the jail will allow rather then send something they will trash or get her in trouble for having it sent.
To that end I went on the Department of Corrections website for the state I live in figuring I would find a list of either approved or disallowed gifts and reading material. Unfortunately neither list was found. what I did find were phone numbers to the different jails and prisons under the department of correction. One of the numbers for each facility was an information number.
What I suggest you do is look up your state department of corrections using a search engine. Then find the drop down box that gives the list of prisons. I found mine under "FIND DPSCS UNIT." Then another box opened and correctional facilities was listed. Click on that and a list of facilities opens. Find the one where mom is and get their number.
Each prison or jail may have their own list of what they approve so calling the jail or prison is what I suggest.

Nothing sexually explicit because they will not allow them to have it! Some jails are strict and won't allow things like cosmo magazine or other fashion magazines and DEFINITELY no 50 shades of gray. (Life experience from a friend that was in jail) So maybe something like national geographic or readers digest. The stuff in those are usually pretty interesting and sometimes funny. Maybe get her a series of books so that it will last a while. like game of thrones, they will definitely last 8 months and they're pretty entertaining. The girl with the dragon tattoo and the hunger games series are also very good.
By the way, I hope you don't get flack for supporting a criminal, because even more importantly, you're supporting your mother, and that's a big thing of you to do!
