First, much respect to you for getting out and trying to help. I admire that a TON. Especially because i'm sure you know firsthand the difference it can make.
I'm hoping my work with Penmate (http://penmateapp.com) can help improve the library as well. In addition to helping keep families connected, we really want to improve the resources inmates have in prison, in particular books, magazines and learning resources. I'll be blogging more about it soon, definitely know what you mean here.
If you are ever looking for coding help with the project, please let me know.
I'd love to help with this work.
Unfortunately, it's so difficult for me to make any sort of consistent living since getting out that I have not been able to fulfill the promises I made to myself about developing systems like yours to help these almost-forgotten and totally marginalized souls, so seeing someone else doing it makes we want to help again.
