Nothing very deep, I'm afraid--my floor of the office is doing a prison theme for Halloween, and I am trying to make up fake library signage.
Heh. I'm not sure my suggestions were very helpful, then! I like Ginger's list.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Although, I have to say, a pretty good number of them would be deeply pleased with a picture of Tom Hardy with his hand down his pants. But I feel as their mentor and spiritual advisor I am probably not the right avenue for them to come across this particular bit of media.
Ah, you walk a fine line there, Liese.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For fake library signage, I'd say things like "101 Ways to Pick a Lock," "Legal Appeals for Dummies," "How to Get Along with Your Cellmate," "Shiv Sharpening for Fun and Profit," and "Exercise in a Four-Foot Space."
Hee! These.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
All good ideas! I am trying to do a mix of funny and serious ones.

Random hivemind question: What types of books would you expect to find in a prison library?
My MiL used to be a prison librarian - the most popular genre by far was true crime novels. Go figure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, they make flash drives small now. I almost didn't get the one I'm ogling just because I'm scared I'll lose it. But it's so cute. I'm having a Love All The Small Things spasm right now.
