    If the guy is in prison, tell him to ask his counselor for advice. Chances are you can send whatever you want, but 1) it must be properly addressed, with his ID number and the whole nine yards, and 2) all incoming mail will be opened and inspected by prison staff…. Somebody will probably steal books and mags….

    Have you tried actually calling the prison?? If not, or you can’t get through, look online for a state of local prisoners’ rights organization…..

    Finally, most, if not all prisons, have libraries….

    The Bureau of Prisons can accommodate you. Or the religious folks and some social workers!!!

    Don’t know the rules. I’d recommend that you walk up to the fence and throw the material over. If that doesn’t work then rent a helicopter, hover over the pen and pitch the materials out.
