    The Michigan Department of Corrections is exploring the use of Digital Media Players with our offender population to replace the use of am/fm radios and cassettes players in our system . Please advise whether prisoner programming, self help, motivational and/or offender reentry content/material exist in a digital MP3 format? .Audio and/or video files that are compatible for use with MP3 or media players? If such exist, please provide a listing of those available and the manner by which I can obtain such files? I can be reached at: mcclouaw@michigan.gov Please advise. Anthony McCloud, Office of Offender ReEntry, MDOC Correctional Facilities Administration

    I know that this post is somewhat out of date, however I would recommend downloading a copy of Itunes and taking a look through the Itunes Store, specifically at PodCasts. There are a great deal of self-help and educational materials available for free download. Itunes University also includes class material from several dozen major universities including Berkely, MIT, and others on a wide range of topics. These materials update themselves from the itunes store automatically each time the iPod is plugged back into a computer, greatly simplifying the task of the staff, by ensuring that content is always up to date and fresh.
