It is strictly against prison rules to lend or borrow any item between prisoners, so it could get you what is called a 'red warning' under the Incentives and Earned Privileges (IEP) system. Two of those in a three month period and you are in real trouble.<br /><br />Another problem is that if the con you've loaned a library book to damages or loses it, then you carry the can as it is on your ticket. You might be forced to pay for a new copy under the recent rules on damage to prison property. <br /><br />The other risk is that any prisoner is liable to be transferred out to another prison or to the Block (segregation unit) at any time without notice. This means that the book could get lost or shipped in his property to another nick. Again, it's a disciplinary case and you might have to pay for it or even get charged and hauled up before a governor for punishment. These are real risks prisoners can face in helping each other out!PrisonUKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060870139110580938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623255227619374869.post-13538322651111837842014-09-07T13:16:06.415+01:002014-09-07T13:16:06.415+01:00I suggest a book swap between cons whenever librar...I suggest a book swap between cons whenever library time is cancelledAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
