| The
CCIP Clearinghouse Catalog
The CCIP Clearinghouse maintains a collection of over
3500 documentary and audiovisual items relating to families
in the criminal justice system.
The Clearinghouse offers two
catalogs: one for incarcerated parents and their families,
who may receive ordered items free of charge, and one
for all other users who are charged the costs of shipping
and handling. The Clearinghouse catalogs list items
written and published by CCIP, as well as items from
the popular, scholarly and program literatures. Items
for which CCIP holds distribution rights---including
original CCIP, Prison MATCH and Phase ReEntry Program
documents and tapes---may be ordered in any quantity
at their original price but may not be duplicated without
written permission from CCIP. The Clearinghouse distributes
only single reproductions of all other items.
Although new items are regularly
added to the catalog, the Clearinghouse collection includes
literally thousands of items which have not been cataloged.
Users may access uncataloged items by requesting a search;
searches for single topic and multiple topic requests
are conducted by staff for a fee.
All catalog and search proceeds
go toward maintenance of the Clearinghouse and the subsidy
of free materials for prisoners and their families.
The Clearinghouse is supported solely through income
earned by these sales.
