Staying connected with a loved one who’s incarcerated is not always easy. Visits may be limited, and calls can be expensive — but one simple, meaningful, and approved way to support an inmate in Nevada is by sending them books. Whether it's an inspirational story, a GED prep guide, or a spiritual devotional, books provide knowledge, motivation, and hope.
At Corrections Bookstore Publishing LLC, we help families and friends send approved books to Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) facilities, ensuring full compliance with state guidelines and facility-specific policies.
If you're wondering how to send books to an inmate in Nevada, this guide will walk you through the process — step by step.
Why Sending Books to Inmates in Nevada Matters
Books are one of the most powerful and impactful things you can send to someone behind bars. They are:
- 🧠 A source of mental stimulation and learning
- 📚 A tool for educational progress and career preparation
- ✝️ A path to spiritual growth and healing
- ⚖️ A way to understand legal rights and resources
- 🔁 A key part of rehabilitation and reentry readiness
- 💭 A positive escape from the daily stress of incarceration
When you send a book, you send encouragement, support, and a reminder that someone on the outside still believes in them.
