For Those Who Can’t Come Home
From the “Only in America” department:
Never quite sure what to say around the holiday to your incarcerated friends and family members? Help is on the way. Three Squares Greetings has a line a greeting cards “For Those Who Can’t Come Home.” You can, for example, buy a birthday card (complete with barbed wire confetti on the front) that says:
It’s your birthday and I know that you’d rather be almost anywhere else right now. Hopefully, one year older will really mean one year wiser for you. Take care.
They also carry a card that says “I’m sorry to hear about your arrest” for the innocent-until-proven-guilty set. My favorite, though is the Christmas card that says:
You had the choice to be “naughty or nice.” And you chose . . . . . . .
Oh well, now you have to do your time. But, Christmas won’t be the same without you here. Stay safe. Merry Christmas
The CNN article on the company is aptly (if snarkily) titled “Greeting cards target captive audience.”
