North Dighton, MA -- (SBWire) -- 10/05/2016 --According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2.2 million Americans are currently incarcerated in our prison systems, or about 1 in 110 citizens. Minute after minute, day after day, they go through the motions of the imprisoned life, almost completely oblivious to the happenings of the outside world. Thankfully, the Inmate Shopper helps men and women in our prison system to cope by providing them with America's largest book of resources. The publication contains a myriad of useful information, including profiles on businesses, pen pal resources, non-nude photo spread pages, catalogs to order, products and subscriptions, and even major sports schedules. Freebird Publishers exclusively publishes the book on an annual basis, and their Holiday edition is set for release in mid to late October.
"The Inmate Shopper is such a useful resource for these incarcerated individuals, and I know it gives them something to look forward to and anticipate as the year inches to the close," commented Diane E. Schindelwig, General Manager for Freebird Publishers. She continued, saying "We are happy to help all of the imprisoned to better their lives, to be updated on the latest events of the world, and to be able to enjoy all that is included in our publication.
Inmates of prisons across the country can make purchases from the Inmate Shopper, but how do they know when businesses are reputable? In this way the publication serves as a sort of Yelp – by using reviews and numerical ratings of profiled businesses it ensures buyers are aware of companies and only do business with trusted vendors. In addition to the aforementioned, each publication includes an LGBT section, criminal justice news, veterans, reentry, special features, segments of the arts and articles of interest to prisoners.
