New article about PLP in Berkeleyside…
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.
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.
