Can i send my inmate a Kindle or Nook instead of a book?
Hello, my son, is 28 tomorrow. He's an amazing person with an amazing education and fell into drug abuse. I'm his mother with 26 years in Alanon. Can I send him a KINDLE READER instead of paperback books from Amazon?

No. You cannot send any electronic devices to an inmate in any prison. However, there are some prisons that have their own special tablets that have educational programming from the facility available and they might have the ability to get books but we are dubious. Stick to paperbacks for now :)
