Abstract

The prisons which are considered as the correctional centers must have the libraries so that those prisoners who are interested can pursue their studies using books from there. Others, also may have some entertainment material from these libraries. But it is seen

This paper discusses the state of art of prison library system and what the prisoners want to have in their libraries. The findings of this study may be useful for the prison authorities to develop prison libraries in the state.
