Being locked up is pretty boring.

Being locked up is pretty boring. One of the reasons inmateAID was founded was to give loved ones an organized and reliable way to help their inmate's time go by more smoothly. Reading is a great escape - we recommend sending lots of magazines, newspapers and books if you are able. Send them letters and photos to keep connected to the outside world.
Some cells have phones, some do not. TVs are located in the common areas in the general population areas of confinement. If this is a state prison, the inmates may buy a TV for their cell from the commissary. They cost about $150.
