Hello Elaine:

Another useful resource is:

Libraries Inside: A Practical Guide for Prison Librarians (Rhea Joyce
Rubin & Daniel Suvak eds., 1995).

The AALL Acquisition's Committee's _Law Library Collection Development
Policies: Policy Documents and Resources_
(http://www.colorado.edu/Law/lawlib/ts/aall/policies.htm) lists a number
of resources on collection development for prison law libraries.

Elaine:

I note that according to WLN (and I assume OCLC also) several libraries
are listed as holding "Recommended Collections for Prison and Other
Institution Law Libraries" (AALL Contemporary Social Problems Special
Interest Section, 1990).

We have in our library the following (either or both of which we'd be
happy to lend to you):
Arturo A. Flores, "Werner's Manual for Prison Law Libraries" (sponsored
by the AALL; published by Fred B. Rothman & Co., 1990). This includes
as an appendix: "Recommended Collections for Prison Law Libraries," put
out by the AALL Contemporary Social Problems Special Interest Section in
1989.

"Correctional Facility Law Libraries: An A to Z Resource Guide" by the
Standing committee on Law Library Service to Institution Residents and the
AALL Contemporary Social Problems Special Interest Section (published by
the American Correctional Association in 1991).
