[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 710787, member: 1963"] I wouldn't get him the TV. I think they are limited in what they can watch in prison anyways. I also wouldn't just send him self-improvement books. Send him some biographies of "self-made" individuals, and of historical figures from long ago. Send him books on history and politics and philosophy. Send him books on science (for the general public). Let him educate himself while he's in there. I'm self-educated. I quit attending school at around 14-15. I had a rather advanced education for my age due to the specialized programs I went through before that time, but I continued on on my own. Who knows? He might be inspired to learn more about one or more subjects, and in doing so, learn about himself. Send novels too. Not pulp, but classic novels by authors such as Pearl S. Buck, Mary Renault, and others. I got my taste for history from these authors and others that I read as a child. [/QUOTE]
