All inmates of the Kalamazoo County Jail are offered books from the Kalamazoo Jail Ministry Library. The KJM Library contains books of classical fiction and Christian fiction, science books (quantum physics, ecology, anthropology, etc.), books about modern art, philosophy, theology, mathematics, home and auto repair, business, religion, the end times, photography collections, Christian comic books, among others. The KJM team will typically get to know inmates very well and identify the best books to match the inmates’ needs and interests. Jail inmates become their real self when in jail; it’s hard to keep wearing a mask when in jail. And many of the inmates develop significant interests in deep topics, which the KJM team wants to feed via the KJM library. Here are some pictures from the KJM office, which contains the KJM library.
