About what inmate might choose to play...
Studies have shown that prisoners of all sorts, including death row, share the same beliefs and morals as the general populace. They might not have followed those morals themselves, but they have the values for right and wrong that we do.
As for the education factor mentioned, I don't recall what an average inmate's education is compared to the general populace.
Lastly, the whole "costs more to kill a death row inmate" argument is predicated upon the idea of the cost of appeals, right? Does this paradigm assume that somebody away for life with no chance of parole wouldn't play out their entire appeal options? I find that very unlikely.
Derek, if the guy is only asking for a catalog then that would fall under a "magazine/periodical" category so he could probably have one for a month or two. But I agree that you should contact the prison first.
Oh, and for those of you who say that this guy shouldn't get anything because he killed somebody...he's already on death row! I mean, whether he gets his silly RPG books or not, he's still a dead man. In the end, showing him kindness says more about who you are then what he's done.
