Dyer believes incarceration should be a moment of reflection and rehabilitation rather than mere punishment. He expresses his desire for restorative justice, stating that inmates should have access to certain books to understand their crimes, why they are in prison, and be accountable for any harm they may have caused.
He published his new guide to inform the public about the still-unknown option of sending books to prison through Amazon, even for an inmate who is not their relative. He says that the first step is researching the specific laws and policies of the state and prison receiving the books. For example, some jails only allow inmates to have 3 books in their cells at a time, with all of them needing to be softbound copies.
Dyer explains that in almost all states, it is impossible to send book packages anonymously. Good Samaritans who want to help prisoners but don’t want their home address to be known are recommended to use P.O. boxes instead of simply leaving the sender address blank. This prevents any shipping issues with Amazon.
Once readers understand the basic steps they need to take to send books to inmates, they can then decide on the most appropriate resources. Dyer recommends “Doing Time With God”, a Christian inspirational book focused on using pain and suffering as the starting points to healing. Dyer, who is also the author of the book, says that “Doing Time With God” helps offenders come face-to-face with their inner demons and build empathy for others.
He writes, "The message in 'Doing Time With God' affirms the inherent goodness of people in jail or prison; that inmates are more than the worst thing they've ever done, worthy of second chances, and deserving of being treated with dignity and respect on their journey of redemption and healing."
