CD and cassette sales up in prison

Conventional wisdom has it that CDs are selling in ever-decreasing numbers, but there's one place where business is booming: prison. A Los Angeles company called Pack Central started selling music to The USA's incarcerated in 2003, and is now doing $1 million of business every year. [Music Radar]Racy photos of Miley Cyrus are popular in prison too.

i thought people in prison wanted to kill pedophiles? what's this about them liking miley cyrus' racy photos? they probably just like her music.

I have a huge collection of indie rock cassette tapes that I'm trying to unload for next to nothing and I can't seem to find any takers. I wonder if I can find a willing buyer in the prison system. Thanks, BV!

It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young, vestal then, you know it hurt me.
But Im breathing so I guess Im still alive
Even the signs seemed to tell me otherwise.
Got my hands down, and my head down,
And my eyes closed, my throats wide open.
I do unto others what has been done to me.
Do unto others what has been done to you.
Im treading water. I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Wont you, wont you come a bit closer.
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I cant stand to burn too long.
Release in sodomy.
The one sweet moment Im whole.
I do unto you now what has been to me.
I do unto you now, what has been done.
Youre breathing so I guess youre still alive.
Even the signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Wont you, wont you come on up closer.
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
Relief in sodomy.
have you witnessed that blood and flesh
can be trusted. i.
Have you witnessed the blood and,
this cant be trusted. i.
Only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.
Got your hands bound, and your head down,
And your eyes closed, you look so precious now.
I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this.
Shit, blood, and come on my hands. Ive come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon. you look so precious.
You look so precious now...
