I think that we can but I would call the mail room to make sure. When I called they said that we could order them from any bookstore we wanted to but they always seem to find a reason to refuse items....

I called the mail room at CCC before and they said they accept books from the major companies, Amazon, borders, Barnes and Noble, B Dalton. When My friend was at HDSP I sent him a book from a small independent publisher, but it was a publisher who prints correctional material, it was a book my husband recommended called "99 days and a get up" about getting released from prison. The prison allowed those books in just fine too. I think it depends on the mail room at the prison, but you are almost always safe with the big companies.
