PLP’s letters from prisoners – Pt.1
The Prisoner’s Literature Project receives thousands of letters every year, and many of them are thank you letters from U.S. prisoners.
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.
