This is the note and (presumably) offending image from the history book Guns, Germs, and Steel that was returned to us when we tried to send it to someone encarcerated in the Shelby County Jail in Memphis, TN.
Note: I cut up the note to make it fit together with the image and, in haste, ordered it wrong. The post-it read:
Book not acceptable due to everyone must be fully dressed w/ T-shirt & clothes on. 2/21/07 Mailroom.

The Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project would like to thank BookMooch for their generous support. BookMooch, an online community for exchanging used books, has generously donated points to us so we can request specific books from BookMooch members.
There are many other groups that work towards the same goals as the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project. Read more.
Starting this month, Midwest Pages to Prisoners is embarking on a new project aimed at making more available radical literature to prisoners in Indiana. The ‘zine distro’ will catalog over 115 zines on topics ranging from prison issues to queer and trans issues, from radical history to pieces written by prisoners in Indiana. The project is intended to compliment the work already being done by Pages by offering, on a smaller scale, literature more directed to people seeking specifically political material.
