Last chance to contribute to our $2,500 matching campaign!

As the year winds to an end, we’re getting close to reaching goal on our $2,500 matching campaign – but we still need your help!

Great new Medium article on the PLP

Thanks to Medium – and the Ripple Network – for the wonderful piece they’ve written on the Prisoners Literature Project – ‘Booked Behind Bars‘.

Sending books to incarcerated people for over 35 years

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 people prepare 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 us answer letters from prisoners who write us from all over the United States.
