Send Books To Prison Inmates To Bring A Change In Their Life

Everyone agrees that books have the power to change lives and this also holds good in the case of prison inmates. Studies show that most of the juvenile inmates have some reading disabilities being failures at school level and this greatly impacts on their lifestyle, not being able to find employment, ending up with divorce and so on drifting them towards crime and ending up in the prisons. This lower level of education also reflects on recidivism committing crimes again and again to end up in the prisons. To change this situation, the prison authorities have found that inculcating reading habits in the prisoners would surely bring a change in them. By reading books prisoners can understand about the world and also enhance their knowledge and skills that would be helpful for them to lead a decent life once they are out of the prisons.
 

 
But most of the prisoners spend their time on workouts, watching TV or playing sports rather reading books offered on the premises. To overcome this prison authorities are encouraging the family members of the prisoners to send books to prison inmates, which would surely encourage them to read frequently as the books are sent by their family members. As family members know much better about the prison inmate they shall be able to send books, according to the interests of the inmate be it prison inmate magazines, comic books, fiction, general, sports books, health and fitness, body, mind and spirit etc. These books need not be great, but if they can stir the reading habit of the prison inmate half the job is done as those who cultivate the habit of reading cannot just stop with one or two books. In the later stages it helps them to pick up more meaningful books that can change their behavior and mind- set redirecting their course of life.

 The family members need not worry about how to send books to inmates as there are online bookstores that are authorized to deliver books to the prison inmates. The family members can go through the collection offered on the bookstore to choose and request for a delivery to the concerned prison. The payment can be made online and in any case if the books are not accepted by the prison authorities the amount shall be refunded to the family member of the prison inmate. By sending books to prison inmates family members can encourage and show their support to the prison inmate that would surely bring a change in them to become productive citizens once they return back from the prison.
