Hi, I'm looking for non-fiction recs of a specific type

15. Sadly, no

They aren't even allowed to have the original letters that are sent- each page is xeroxed and the original shredded. It's to prevent drug smuggling.

The only other thing I can send is one food package per month, which has to be ordered through the company the jail uses for commissary. There's a $70 limit per package, which doesn't buy much. The portions are tiny and cost an arm and a leg.

Jail is such a freaking racket. I've had to sign up for 3 separate services, all from private companies: phone, the food package place, and to deposit money in his account (they take a 10% fee out of each deposit).
