To mail journal notebooks to someone in the BOP, here are the rules;

Inmates may also receive up to five magazines (no sexually explicit material) or paperback books per day.

Paperback books sent in a package

A journal Notebook is critical to keeping a daily record of all that you:

I) Read, answering these questions,

  • Why you choose the author
