Announcing the launch of our online shop

We’re thrilled to share our new online merch shop with you. We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you a mix of brand-new designs and pieces of PLP history, including digital restorations of two vintage PLP silk screen designs.

We have options ranging from tees, hoodies and totes to mugs, buttons and stickers. All items are printed on demand and shipped directly to you. On average, $10 from every item goes straight back to our work supporting readers behind bars across the USA.

Follow our SHOP link to check it out!

Sending books to people behind bars for over 45 years

Bookshelves at the Prisoners Literature Project

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 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.
