North Dighton, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2017 -- Plenty who go to prison never look back. But some do – and it can end up creating a strong and meaningful impact. Take the case of Diane Schindelwig. Schindelwig, founder of Freebird Publishers, did time behind bars herself and hasn't lost a moment of productivity since getting out. Utilizing her business experience and the knowledge of the way the prison system works not only in terms of knowing inmates need outside resources or delivering gifts and mail to loved ones locked up but also in relation to the many creative talents and imaginative minds that occupy the halls and cells, Schindelwig developed a business built around these ideas.

Through her publishing company, Diane Schindelwig does a service to the public by providing them with literature, inmates (and their loved ones on the outside) a variety to buy, and perhaps most importantly a chance for prisoners to channel their talents and passions into a positive outlet.

Recently, Schindelwig had the opportunity to share a little about the background of her business, what inspired it and what keeps it going. In her brief but informative feature and interview on the Rhode Island based TurnTo10 channel, Schindelwig revealed how her knowledge of the system coupled with that of publishing has helped her create a rather niche type of business. Of course, other companies sell products to prisoners and their loved ones on the outside, but fewer go so far as to offer actual publishing services for the inmates themselves – a chance to express their talent in a way where everyone can find something to gain.

Freebird Publishers also is built around the idea of helping inmates re-enter society. With few to little resources for those behind bars, the literature available can be a powerful tool to aid an individual in their growth and development as well as prepare and educate them for life after prison.

"You have to have heart and dedication to be in this business," Schindelwig shared in the TurnTo10 interview, indicating a firm dedication to those she works with both on the inside and the outside.

In the segment, Schindelwig shared some of Freebird's popular products:

- Cookbooks: Some of the cookbooks feature fun names like "Killer Frito Pie" and "Prisagna"

- Self-help books: These books offer hope and can help inmates adjust to life on the outside.

- Books featuring adult content: These are obviously bestsellers.

Also offered to inmates is Inmate Shopper, which is a book that help those on the inside have hundreds of resources in their hands that offer services of all kinds, as well as gifts for special occasions like holidays, weddings, etc. It is an amazing resource to prisoners that goes beyond offering just books. It also provides articles, lawyer information, and other services. There is even a censored version available to ensure that it passes the prison review system.

Freebird hopes to continue spreading the word about their unique business and looks forwards to a future of making a difference for those inside and outside and, of course, those on their way out.
