    I don't know about the used items. I just saw the TLC program last year and I was so touched that I researched on the web, found the prison and contacted them with my proposal of donating quilts to the babies that they could keep forever. I think EVERY baby should have a "blankie" of their own. This is something I just did after watching a TV show. No official charity I contacted or anything like that. PM me and I can give you the email of the woman I am in contact with. Thanks for your interest!
