    Yeah, I’ve sent books to prisoners before and it’s disturbing how bad it is. The most requested book is an English-Spanish dictionary so they can talk to the people in there with them.

    The concept of a penitentiary is to give them time to think and repent. I think it’s off base, but it’s not a bad idea. Give them philosophy and books that can give them skills, good models, good ideas, and yes entertainment.
