Here's a list of books for review:
* Shawshank Redemption
* The Count of Monte Cristo
* Papillon
* How to Escape From Prison
* The Great Escape
Actually, I wonder if prison libraries are allow to carry such books that might inspire prisoners to escape or otherwise give them ideas.
- noirscape 4y agoIIRC prison libraries do get screened for that sorta thing. Overly violent novels for example aren't allowed in prisons because of concerns that it might lead to criminals thinking violence is more acceptable. (So no Fight Club for example.)
- t-3 4y agoAnything too ideologically or politically radical, sexual, or violent might be banned. Some bans just seem to be random, though. https://www.bookstoprisoners.net/banned-book-lists/ https://www.bookstoprisoners.net/banned-book-lists/
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoAre you concerned that the prisoners would think of escape only after reading said book? I think you'd be able to spot the deception the first time an inmate asked for a poster of Rita Hayworth.
