*knocks on the wardens door and leaves a note on his desk*

Dear Mr Warden,

I would like to request some new educational content for myself and the other inmates. 

It is clear from the state of rhe shoutbox thay some self improvement guides wouldn't go amiss around the prisons. 

Whwn i began my incarceration books and bookshelves were well utilized in people's cells but there has been a rapid decline in book use of late. I wondered about the possibility of combining a revitalization of reading and self help by introducing an reader for inmates cells. 

I have put together some ideas for book titles that given some of my shouting experiences:

I thought that "How to win friends and influence people" would be useful for our friends Chino and T4P

"Come together" would be great for UBNCK and that weird thing he like doing wot😕😕with girls and pee.

"Real Queer America" might be good for Shank to help him not be so scared of the 🏳️‍🌈

Anything that explains the difference between Australia and New Zealand be good. You too could read that 😏

Oh. And a French dictionaries be great for the beautiful French sessions in the SB.

I could go on. But i am sure.that other inmates may have suggested titles they would want others to read. 

Pretty please help our inmates develop to be the best humans they can be for when they are back in the community.

Yours faithfully,

Hanako
