When two customers came to Avid Bookshop in Georgia last year eager to purchase and then send a few books to an inmate at the Gwinnett County Jail, they thought that would be the end of it and they dropped their packages in the mail.

But, according to a federal lawsuit filed this week by the bookstore’s owner, Louis Correa, that was far from the end of things. Correa now alleges he has discovered a series of unconstitutional practices by jail officials that ultimately deprive both himself as a bookseller and inmates, already cut off from the outside world, of their right to read, educate and improve themselves.
