An excerpt from sdcitybeat.com:
Walkenhorst’s, a Mormon-run business in Napa, Calif., is among the most popular vendors and offers CDCR inmates a 198-page catalog (27mb PDF). The selection includes more than 50 watches, 74 shampoos and eight different LCD televisions, most featuring clear-plastic bodies manufactured by Walkenhorst’s sister company, Hiteker. Walkenhorst’s even offers a custom CD service, where the company will burn up to 80 minutes of songs to a single disc (charged at a persong rate; 12 tracks would cost $26). The music catalog— another 196-page book (15mb pdf)—spans the gamut; an inmate could theoretically order a CD mix of 2Pac, Britain’s Got Talent’s Susan Boyle and stand-up comic Mitch Hedberg. Walkenhorst’s also offers 12 different “Hip Hop Bundles” of five albums each for $50.
