Weight Lifting Info Available on the Internet
Past issues of PLN have reported on the efforts to halt or curtail weight lifting in prison. Strength Tech, Inc., a supplier to the prison weight lifting industry, has created and dedicated an Internet web site to the issue of prison weight lifting. The web site contains a wealth of information relating to this issue, including state and federal laws, magazine articles, newspaper clippings, television documentaries and other items on the subject. It contains an extensive reference section on "The Behavioral and Psychological Aspects of Weight Training;" success stories of those who lifted weights in prison, improved their lives and were released, and much more. Links are made to other weight lifting, prison and legislative sites on the Internet. For those desiring more information about prison recreation, information is provided about the National Correctional Recreation Association.
The purpose of this site is to make information on this issue available to everyone making policy decisions on the issue of weight lifting. Strength Tech hopes that people will become more informed about this issue as well. Miscellaneous information provided includes how to run a power-lifting meet, reupholstering weight lifting equipment, and how to submit an invention to the weight lifting industry.
Readers should note that this is an Internet site. You need a computer and a modem to access the information. PLN has contacted Strength Tech about the fact that this limitation effectively eliminates all prisoners from directly accessing the information. Prisoners will need to find someone who can access the information for them. The Internet address is: www.strengthtech.com. Their "snail mail" address is: Strength Tech Inc., P.O. Box 1381, Stillwater, OK. 74076. 1-800-443-6543.
