Some of you may know that the Prisoners Literature Project often runs ‘special sessions’ for specific external groups.
As we move into 2017, here’s a fresh set of thank-you letters from prisoners.
Wonderful news – the Prisoners Literature Project has been chosen by the Namaste FoundationĀ as one of two dozen ‘inspiring nonprofits who are working toward positive change’ in criminal justice reform.
The recently aired NPR (Humankind) longform radio story on Prisoners Literature Project is now available online.
The Prisoners Literature Project would like to thank two companies for their donations to the PLP over the last few weeks.
The PLP is running volunteer sessions every Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon in Berkeley to answer letters from prisoners and package books up for them. We’d love you to consider attending.
If you’d like to get occasional updates about the Prisoners Literature Project, we’ll be sending out a newsletter every 2 to 3 months to donors, volunteers and other interested parties.
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.
