What Kind of Magazine Should I Send to an Inmate?

Both are genuinely good choices and serve different purposes.

A health and fitness magazine gives your family member something practical and motivating. Exercise is one of the few things inside that an inmate has real control over, and a fitness publication can fuel that routine with new workouts, nutritional information, and a focus on physical discipline. It also reinforces a healthy mindset during a period when it is easy to let things slide.

A business magazine like Forbes keeps the mind engaged with the outside world, with ideas, strategy, and the kind of thinking that translates directly into what comes after release. Reading about business and success while doing time is something a lot of motivated inmates find genuinely inspiring rather than discouraging.

If the budget allows, sending both is a strong combination. One feeds the body and one feeds the mind, and between the two there is always something worth reading on any given day.

Subscriptions can be set up through InmateAid or ordered directly through an approved vendor. Just confirm with the specific facility that both titles are on their approved publications list before ordering.
