Q: Why don’t you sell books by titles?
We have a publisher in Mexico that sells us books by the lot. A lot
is a quantity of 100 books. This means that instead of selling books
by title and for an average cost of $8.00 to 15.00 per book. We are
able to sell new books at a current cost of $5.15 per book. We are
always happy to sell in smaller lots, upon requests.
Q: How do we know we are getting books that are appropriate
for correctional facilities?
The staff of Correctional Programs, LLC has been working in state
and Federal prisons for over 25 years. What better way to insure
that you are getting the right books for your institution. We screen
every book to insure there are no violations from policy,
pornographic content, or pornographic photos within the books.
Q: About your reentry program, Targeting Success, why is
your company so positive about this program? How much time can this
program save staff?
For years staff has been doing all the work trying to get inmates
ready for transition back into society. We have organized lectures
on resume writing, job interview skills, budgeting, how to do an
introduction letter, how to look for work and where to go when
released. With Targeting Success the inmate does all the work. Staff
no longer will have to escort volunteers and contract employees into
institutions to perform the basic needs for inmates. We are not
advocating that inmates should not have contact with anyone prior to
release, but the contact should be when inmates are ready to discuss
employment at job fairs, meetings with Half Way House Directors and
communications like that. Targeting Success when down loaded into
independent computers, will give formatted resumes, introduction
letters, financial plans that will tell an inmate how much he or she
needs to make per hour to be successful in society and reduce the
chances of reoffending. When an inmate completes a 30 hour program,
they will walk away with a complete portfolio. Many Education
Supervisors are having their inmates complete the Targeting Success
program after an inmate completes their first education program no
matter what the program. The reasoning for this is to give the
inmate incentive to complete more programs and they can simply
return to Targeting Success and update their resume.
Q: Why are your music prices so much lower that what is
being sold elsewhere?
Correctional Programs, LLC has a long relationship with a music
distributor that buys from overseas sources. Because of lower labor
costs, we are able to keep the prices at a lower rate and in return
pass the savings on to the taxpayers as well. On many of the large
ticket items our price is in most cases 1/3 the cost. We are proud
of the quality of these musical items and have never received a
complaint about the quality of any items sold.
Q: Can you handle special orders?
We welcome special orders. If there are items not listed in our web
site, all you have to do is contact the office and let us know what
we can do for you. We are flexible and have the ability to find
whatever items needed by your correctional facility. We understand
the budget situation within your agency and are willing to work with
you to the best of our ability.

Whether you are using a credit card, approved purchase order, check,
money order or cash, you can place an order directly at our online
store. If you prefer to talk to a live person, we are available by
phone during normal business hours at 409-866-4900.
Q: How will my purchase be shipped?
Normal shipping is FedEx Ground, unless otherwise requested for
additional cost.
Q: How is shipping calculated?

shipping on an order.
Q: Do you charge sales tax?
