While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Work Programs at ASPC-Tucson encompass various initiatives aimed at rehabilitation and skill-building among inmates. Through an Intergovernmental Agreement, approximately 40 inmates engage in off-complex work crews, while two onsite call centers employ 78 inmates.
