Books Keep Inmates Busy

Inmates have a lot of time on their hands in prison, so many partake in activities such as lifting weights and playing cards.

For the inmates in Monroe prison, it is the library that draws their attention. Equipped with reading material from sports magazines to novels, the library gives these men more than just a way to pass time, but also a way to readjust to the world once they are eventually freed. There are practical reference books offered for inmates, such as The Ex-offender’s Job Hunting Guide and Job Interview Tips for People with Not-So-Hot Backgrounds.
