Books

Give them hours. Send a book.

Amazon is one of the very few companies that can be trusted to deliver books to inmates. Due to strict facility rules, sending books requires care — we’ve created a step-by-step guide to make sure your inmate receives their books as intended.

  • Books must ship directly from an approved vendor — not from home
  • Paperbacks preferred at most facilities — hardcovers may be restricted
  • New books only — no used books, no highlighting or writing inside
  • Religious texts are often exempt from many facility restrictions
  • Check the specific facility’s book policy before ordering
