New art from grateful inmates to the PLP
As the Prisoners Literature Project powers through the rest of 2017, we wanted to highlight a couple of new pieces of art recently sent in to us.
This illustrated envelope was sent in, and seems very relevant to today, even if it was written quite a long time ago:
Aw, this ‘thank you’ art sent in to the Prisoners Literature Project from a grateful U.S. inmate twins the recent eclipse with cartoon characters.
Finally, here’s something that sits on our shelves at the PLP, and we believe it did come from a prisoner originally. And it’s very relevant:
If you’d like to help us keep sending books to hundreds of prisoners weekly so we keep getting thank you-s like this, then here’s how you can – and thanks for reading this!
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.
