- Materials must not undermine the basic objectives of the Department nor jeopardize the safety of the institution, offenders, staff or the public.
- Materials should be in a good enough condition to be read and not need any mending. Pages may not be aged-yellowed, musty, water damaged, moldy or mildewed. (Chance Books LLC prefers to donate new books).
- Books should be paperbacks with an intact cover. Spiral, binder or other hand bindings are not accepted.
- Erotica, explicit sexual or violent content is not accepted.
