Prison libraries

Awei・sitanboge of graduates of Harvard University near Boston in a prison for 2.5 years of librarian, in his memoirs prisoners love to see what is described in the book, and noted that they should see what books.

Awei・sitanboge after graduating from Harvard University to become the Boston Globe freelancers. One day, he saw the recruitment of a full-time job opportunities, job is a prison librarian in Boston. Resume of David Steinberg on the pass, then in the prison for 2.5 years. In his memoir of the management book of the description of his experience.


His writing is very interesting. Beginning of the book said: "the robber, arms smugglers, bank robbers at a small scale collaboration, elaborate plans and put down by force the anger in the execution plan-they all have basic skills of librarians. "A prisoner was informed that there is a book called painfully roared after the introduction to Queer theory:" they now have a theory? ”


David Steinberg found that prison officials often do not trust library, where patrols difficult, the library is also good place for passing notes and planned criminal act. Hardcover books can be used to make weapons--book itself some weight, edge and very sharp, with a belt wrapped around a book or magazine after the stick, you can use them in holes dug or beating. Disk can make spring a knife. Shelf is a lot of undeliverable mail mailbox is prisoner friends or lovers of Tibetan letters in the middle of an ideal location, this letter was called "kites". Be used as a mail are thick, dull book--a prisoner wrote: "I will be another boring book to give you a letter. "He is referring to the Encyclopedia Britannica.


Prisons are perhaps the most important book in the library the legal books. In prison, however, the most popular book is a book on popular novels, and the constellation real estate. Before the economic crisis, prisoners think that they can choose to join the criminal groups engaged in the real estate industry. Prisoners are also often requested to borrow on real cases or books on serial killers. Librarians will answer that there was no such books, but is there in the prison library of Truman Capote and Norman Mailer's the executioner's song of the cold-blooded, occasionally borrowing.


Dream interpretation are often borrow books, the authors speculate, probably associated with the Bible story of Joseph in some: Joseph had framed the woman was kept in Egypt jail, Pharaoh dreamed a dream, all Egypt sorcerer and Dr are not solutions, but solutions of Pharaoh's dream of Joseph. Pharaoh dreamed 7 thin cows ate all the beef 7, Joseph says the dream is that Egypt will have 7 harvest, followed by the 7 will be lean years, the King all the grain harvest should be deposited in the State granary, for crop year consumption.


Many of the prisoners love to see Machiavelli's theory of the monarch, they also want to check out the 48 laws of power, but prisons don't collect the books in the library, because this book is Machiavelli's updated version of, 48 of these rules in a straightforward and practical manner, teaches readers how to control what others to get what they want. Some of these laws say that you want to hide your intention, some said operations should be bold, to completely eliminate your enemy, obviously not suitable for a criminal guilty of reading. Prisoners secretly brings the book into the prison, they spread is also a write-only in the middle of the 48 rules streamlined version of the name, only two pages.

David Steinberg opened writing in prison, prisoners are introduced to Morrison's book, Philip Larkin and others. He believed that prisons should be collection of all 6 books: pulimo・laiwei of the death sentence of the Falcons, and qifu prison, and the Metamorphoses of Kafka, Joseph Heller of the 22nd Army Regulation of political rights, the prison situation and TEDE・Ke of Nova "Lonely Planet", of the Rome.
