2016’s kickoff – new letters, great progress!

As the Prisoners Literature Project works through January 2016, we’re hitting some new heights in terms of sending out books to U.S. prisoners.

January 2, 2016

Thanks to all for helping complete our 2015 donation drive!

Great news here at the PLP – thanks to your help, we successfully completed our matching donation drive at the end of December.

Sending books to incarcerated people for over 40 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.
