With the success of last year's Netflix Original "Making a Murderer," the American public's interest in stories of incarcerated men and women has piqued. Year after year, critics of the United States prison system point out the astounding numbers, for example: the U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world's population, yet it houses nearly 25 percent of the world's total prison population. The sliver of hope is that there are organizations that exist to help these prisoners live a better life and be integrated into society seamlessly upon their release. This is the subject of current inmate Anthony Tinsman's new book "Life With a Record," which outlines the methods of reentering society, finishing supervision, and living successfully. It is a book that has been published by Freebird Publishers, through their Limited Publishing Partnership.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2.2 million Americans are currently incarcerated in our prison systems, or about 1 in 110 citizens. Minute after minute, day after day, they go through the motions of the imprisoned life, almost completely oblivious to the happenings of the outside world. Thankfully, the Inmate Shopper helps men and women in our prison system to cope by providing them with America's largest book of resources. The publication contains a myriad of useful information, including profiles on businesses, pen pal resources, non-nude photo spread pages, catalogs to order, products and subscriptions, and even major sports schedules. Freebird Publishers exclusively publishes the book on an annual basis, and their Holiday edition is set for release in mid to late October.
