Sorry it was so boring there. Did they have a library, and if so was there anything decent in it?

We did have a library! It wasn't all that bad, or so I heard. My partner sent me books on the regular that were more my taste. I found a lot of my fellow travelers were more interested in sci-fi and fiction than my taste for biology/neuroscience/behavioral sciences/food science.

Oh good I'm glad they had one that wasn't so bad. I'm not sure why but I've always been interested in prison libraries and making sure people have stimulating things to read when they're going through hard times.

And I'm glad you had a partner who sent you good things to read :)

If you want a book to make an impact on people .. prison is probably the place where many people start reading they would not otherwise. The right book can make all the difference..
