What Books Do Convicts Read in Leavenworth Prison
In the Leavenworth federal prison library of about 7,000 volumes convicts favor text books and trade guides over sensational fiction. Spanish language texts top the language section, followed by French and German. Trade books on plumbing, engineering, bricklaying, and stone setting are in high demand, with many prisoners skilled in these crafts. Poetry, standard novels, Shakespeare, Bryant, Longfellow, Whittier, Dickens, Stevenson, and Poe are popular, as are theology works. Readers borrow for two weeks, extendable by request, and many inmates subscribe to newspapers and technical journals.
