Books and magazines are among the most valuable items an incarcerated person can receive. They provide an escape from the monotony of institutional life, keep the mind active, and for many inmates represent the primary source of education and information about the outside world. But facility rules about how books and magazines can be sent are strict, and getting it wrong means the item gets rejected. This section covers the rules for sending books and magazines to incarcerated loved ones, why items must typically come directly from approved publishers or retailers rather than from home, what types of publications are restricted and why, how InmateAid's magazine subscription service works and why it is one of the most reliable ways to keep a loved one supplied with reading material, and what genres and titles tend to be most popular inside. The guidance here makes sure every book and magazine you send actually arrives. See also our sections on Inmate Care Packages, Send Inmate Mail, and Prison Jobs.

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.

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.

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.

They are al printed magazines, by the publisher and mailed to the inmate by the publisher. This is the only way they may receive them. We do not sell "digital magazines" to inmates
