From within the belly of the beast, federal prisoners are largely cut off from the outside world. While some subscribe to mainstream publications and newspapers, prisoners are increasingly coming to rely on Corrlinks.com news services which deliver news articles via TRULINCS computers in their housing units. Each day they can login to their TRULINCS account and receive free email updates on topics of interest to them.
The following are six of the more popular Corrlinks news services for federal prisoners. To subscribe, a prisoner simply adds the email address of the respective news service to their TRULINCS contacts list.
1. The Law Offices of Jeremy Gordon
The Law Offices of Jeremy Gordon, in partnership with their affiliated non-profit Prisology.org, sends out an exceptional weekly newsletter with the latest legal news of interest to federal prisoners. What sets this newsletter apart from all others is the extremely valuable legal analysis provided by attorney Jeremy Gordon. This is essential reading for all jailhouse lawyers.

2. Prison News Service
The Prison News Service delivers articles three times a week to federal prisoners’ TRULINCS inboxes. Articles span a wide variety of topics, but focus on prison reform initiatives and breaking news of interest to federal prisoners. The Prison News Service tends to send out articles that are geared more towards the popular interests of prisoners, as opposed to more law-oriented articles.
