Amazon Partnership

Send Books &
Magazines to Inmates

Reading materials are one of the most meaningful gifts you can send to an incarcerated loved one. Most US correctional facilities accept books shipped directly from Amazon — here's how it works.

  • Order directly from Amazon using the inmate's facility address
  • New books only — used books are typically not accepted
  • Paperbacks preferred — some facilities restrict hardcovers
  • No stamps, labels, or personal notes inside books
  • Magazines via approved subscription services
  • Educational materials, dictionaries, and GED prep books accepted

Ship approved books directly from Amazon to any US correctional facility
