Thank you so much to Tor Books (and its various labels) for donating so many wonderful sci-fi, fantasy, romantasy and other genre fiction to PLP. (We can’t wait to send it all to incarcerated folks looking for great new reads!)
A reporter at local Bay Area news site Berkeleyside ended up interviewing multiple volunteers and attending sessions, and the result was this great write-up on our books to prisoners program.
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.
