Answer 1

His subscription has to be sent directly from the newspaper, not from friends or family. Any paper or magazine that is not considered contraband is okay.

Answer 2

Cut your chase short and call the correctional facility itself. Or you can go online to your state's correctional rules and regs. Your B-in-law should already know the answer to this question if he has received a copy of the rules and regs, of which I am sure he has.

Answer 3

Inmates cannot personally receive news subscriptions if thats what your asking. Depending on the level of security he is on, if he is on a lower security, he will probably be able to have access to the library, where he can read several newspapers.
