Local Christian congregations donate copies of the Christian scripture to be given free of charge to those prisoners desirous of them. Islam is, to say the least, not well represented in rural Mississippi, so the prison commissary supplies the scriptural needs of imprisoned Muslims who don't have nearby congregations to look out for them.
(Source: I grew up in Mississippi, an hour's drive east of Parchman Farm. Testaments were given out even in the public schools a couple of times during my childhood; that the same or similar organizations would fail also to provide for Parchman's prisoners seems unlikely in the extreme.)
