If he's already doing VB/Access work for the prison, could you not slip in a .net book as a means to help him in his work there? Or donating it to the library (

  In theory, that's a good workaround. But that's based on our understanding and what is logical and reasonable to us. My apologies for the tone of that statement--it's not at all directed at you; you could not believe the obstruction he has had to deal with as he has put himself through undergrad and graduate school through mail-in correspondence. He was hoping to pursue a phd, but the administration would not allow him to pursue his research project, so he had to stop at a master's. Bettering himself has been no easy task. We pursued the option of donating to the library, but the correctional officers do keep a good watch on what comes as donations, apparently. He has also tried to order programming books through the Inter Library Loan program, but no luck. He learned VB/Access through material that was available in the factory and, of course, just figuring things out through trial and error. But I'll ask him about this option in more detail.
