Banned Books Week 2022 – #BeatThePrisonBookBan
Banned Books week (Sept. 18-24) is upon us once again. Books to prisoners groups such as PLP contend with the reality of book banning and restrictions every day in the course of our efforts to get reading material into the hands of eager incarcerated people.

About the Prisoners Literature Project
The Prisoners Literature Project is an inclusive, all-volunteer, grassroots nonprofit whose purpose is to encourage reading, the pursuit of knowledge, and self-determination among incarcerated people. By sending free reading materials to those behind bars, PLP aims to foster learning and critical thinking and help prepare people to lead successful lives after incarceration. We believe that all people have a right to read.
Please consider donating to the PLP or volunteering your time (if you live in the Bay Area, CA!) to help our prison book program answer letters from prisoners who write us from all over the United States.
