What magazines are the best to send inmates?
Anything that will keep their mind occupied for long stretches of time is the best thing you can do for an inmate. You probably have an idea of your inmate's interests and on the magazine page, there is a search function that will narrow down the selection process. Some of the most popular, best sellers include the PUZZLES, WORD FINDERS and every possible COMIC BOOK available.

How many books can you send per week? Is there a set limit an inmate can have at a time? Thanks in advance,
There are no limits in state and federal prison. The county jail is different as the inmates have less storage space.

Can I send a magazine subscription from Amazon as well as books? The good magazines are not available from the prison website
The magazines are limited because the prisons don't accept all titles. We have 1000s of "good" titles that we cannot offer because for the restrictions. Amazon is great for books, but only okay for magazines, you just need to know if it is prison-acceptable or it'll get sent back.

Can i change the address on the magazine subscription if the inmate gets moved?
The magazine subscription takes 8 weeks at least to get the first issue rolling. Our policy is that you can change the address as many times as necessary. We know inmates get moved all the time and this concession seems to work well for all parties.

What's are the best magazines allowed in jail?
The best, in my opinion, is the puzzle magazine. They have hundreds of puzzles in each and come every month - it is with a doubt the inmate's favorite too.
