Adcode, which operates a platform service for correctional facility inmates and their families, announced that it is carrying out free book support activities for inmates who have difficulty purchasing books through its book purchase agency platform ‘Panda Bookstore’. Reading activities in correctional facilities are used as part of an educational program to help inmates’ correction and edification, emotional development, and successful return to society. In particular, books encountered while incarcerated serve as essential educational materials for learning and self-development, but there are many inmates who have difficulty purchasing books due to financial circumstances. Accordingly, Adcode's ‘Panda Bookstore’ has emerged as a key outlet for providing free books to economically vulnerable inmates. When an inmate applies for a desired book or study material, Panda Bookstore conducts an internal review to decide whether or not to support it and sends the book free of charge. Correctional facilities have very strict standards for books that can be brought into correctional facilities for security and safety, and import may be restricted according to facility-specific regulations. ‘Panda Bookstore’ is a book purchase agency platform exclusively for prisoners.
