“Prison Book Program is a grassroots organization that exists for one purpose—to send free books to prisoners. We’ve been doing it since 1972.

Books are crucial to the political, spiritual, and educational development of all people. Most prisons do not allow family and friends to send books into prisons. They must come from a bookstore, publisher, online retailer or a program like ours. We serve over 10,000 prisoners each year.

The reading interests of the people we serve mirror the general population with a few exceptions.. They say that books offer escape, entertainment, and practical information. ” – prisonbookprogram.org
