Inmate Reading Materials

In conjunction with the Daniel Boone Regional Library (Callaway County Public Library), an inmate book pass is conducted weekly. Inmates are provided access to two books weekly, which are traded out upon the next book pass. Due to the jail safety and security measures -- as outlined in the jail mail policy -- no outside reading materials are permitted into the facility, e.g., books sent from Amazon, eBay, etc.  

Jail staff will accept new softback Bibles, Qurans, etc. at the jail window.  Other religious literature will be reviewed by jail administration before being provided to an inmate.  Any religious material that is not authorized to be provided to an inmate, e.g., material with staples, will be placed in the inmate's property and given to them upon release.
