I want to send my penpal on DR some books. He has had this authorised and he chose some from the list I sent him from the internet. They were on Amazon.com. How do I get them posted to him. Do I have to go through a special site or are Amazon able to sent them for me?

Hi, ... normally it should be ok to send them through Amazon. I did that already.

Most inmates can receive books/magazines from an authorized book dealer, magazine dealer, bookstore, etc. so amazon.com should work. I have used Barnes and Noble without issue. (this is assuming they are not under extra restrictions like segregation). I have been told we can send books directly from us to our penpals that are on Georgia's Death Row in GDCP.

I always use amazon.com to send my pals books. No problems at all.

I write a couple girls around the US and when they want books I send them a catalog from Silverhammer Books. They specialize in sending books to institutions and I never have any problems with mail or refusals. They are cheaper than most other places also. I hope your friend finds hours of escape between the covers of his booksi2damax@aol.com
