[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 702535, member: 18958"] This sounds like my own state. There is a kit of essential hygiene cosmetics that is supplied to any indigent inmate. Three meals are supplied. It is surprisingly easy to eat "well" because inmates trade their food with high fat/sugar foods being in demand and healthy ones being lower in demand. There are often excellent libraries which generally have a surprisingly good selection of classics. There is school, too. Oftentimes vulnerable inmates are extorted for monies or supplies they receive and stuff that you send can easily be a source of trouble for them. I would think about that factor before I sent much. I agree with the others that letters, an occasional visit, may be the best support. Or as COM writes--holding back, depending upon how long the sentence is. For long-term prisoners, outside contact is everything. [/QUOTE]
