Dear Ruby,
I read your letter in the November Issue of About Time. I’m currently on remand in Victoria at the Metropolitan Remand Centre. You asked about libraries in prisons. We have a library but are not allowed to attend. We have to wait for the library trolley to visit our yards and select a book or request a book and wait for the following week. The book selection here is rather small and sometimes the library trolley doesn't come. When we receive the book we have it for a week, and can rebook it for another week if we need more time. A late fee of $5 is deducted from our accounts if we do not return the book on time. I hope you find this of Interest.
To everyone who writes in please keep it up and encourage others to submit letters, art, poetry etc as myself and I'm sure many others really do enjoy receiving About Time and reading all the fantastic letters, articles etc...
To everyone at About Time, my fellow brothers and sisters and anyone else who reads the paper – Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Remember to be kind to one another over the festive season.
Jack
