Being There for Inmates: The Little Things

Inmate Books, Visits, and More

As the Holiday Season arrives, so many of us will be focusing on wrapping up work for the year, buying gifts, and spreading holiday cheer. It is easy for us to forget those less fortunate than us, something that relatives and friends of the incarcerated never soon forget. Inmates in our prison system are forced to forego so much behind bars, including regular human contact all of the festivities associated with Christmas, Hanukah, and the other holidays.

Fortunately, there are some concrete ways that loved ones can assuage the burden of prison time, especially this time of year. A simple visit, even a recurring visit on a weekly basis, can do wonders, and really raise the morale of the man or woman behind bars. Similarly, sending them a book to occupy their time is a great way to get their mind off their current plight. It is little things such as these that make all the difference to someone who spends night and day cooped up with little else to focus on.
