Libraries are provided in many prisons. Reading materials are provided in almost all federal and state correctional facilities in the United States. Libraries in federal prisons are controlled by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Department of Justice. State prison libraries are controlled by each state's own department of corrections.[1] Many local jails also provide library services through partnerships with local public libraries and community organizations.[1] These resources may be limited, mostly provided through government sources.[2]
