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.

Additionally, the institution provides a range of self-development, treatment, and education programs during evenings and weekends.
Pender Correctional Institution was among the pioneers in implementing teleconferencing capabilities, facilitating management meetings, staff training sessions, and educational programs for inmates. The institution's history dates back to the groundbreaking ceremony on November 30, 1990, marking the construction of the medium-security facility adjacent to the existing Pender Correctional Center, established in 1935 as part of a broader initiative to accommodate road-building inmates.
Over the years, Pender witnessed significant expansions and improvements, including the construction of a 28-cell unit for administrative and disciplinary segregation by inmates in 1978, followed by the inmates' construction of a recreation building in 1986. Subsequently, in 1990, legislators allocated $18 million for the development of a new 756-bed medium security prison at Pender, marking a significant milestone in prison infrastructure enhancement. The completion of the new housing area in March 1993 marked a new era in the institution's operational capacity and efficiency.
