However, we would like to clarify that our inmate activity books do not include any content related to tattooing, giving tattoos, or obtaining tattoo supplies. We carefully design our books to meet the needs of families and individuals, adhering to guidelines to ensure they are suitable for their intended audience. Every correctional facility has its own rules and guidelines, and we’ve done our best to create books that are widely acceptable. We can assure you they don’t contain anything inappropriate or harmful. We encourage anyone encountering issues to contact the facility for clarification. If you have questions about the content of our books, we’re here to help! Feel free to reach out to us directly at butterybraniganbooks@gmail.com We value our readers' feedback and take concerns like these seriously. We hope this helps clarify any confusion among others who are considering our book. These books are a great fit for incarcerated adults and teens, as well as for anyone undergoing rehabilitation or long-term treatment. Don’t forget to check out Volumes 2, 3, and 4—they’re packed with all-new material to offer even more support. Help Others Find This Resource!

Not only does it offer puzzles, games and a place to journal but stress relief techniques as well. There are even homemade greeting cards included. Great for passing the time and offering a dose of inspiration! Prison Book Program 5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful resource for people in prison Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022 I am the director of a national nonprofit that provides free books to people in prison in all 50 states. We frequently get asked for puzzle books, meditation books, and other sorts of books, so that people can do their time productively and keep their minds occupied and stay out of trouble. This is the perfect combination of several of these kinds of books. It contains daily affirmations, fun puzzles and activities, and lots of helpful mental health resources. Prison dehumanizes you, and it takes work to stay sane and healthy inside. I can't recommend this book enough for programs like ours, or for anyone with an incarcerated loved one. We're adding it to our wish list so that donors can purchase copies for us! We are honored to support hundreds of people who are incarcerated with our journals, to improve their mental health, increase joy, and have some fun.
