PLP Letter Data Collection Project
In fall of 2025 a small team of volunteers initiated a review of 1,350 letters requesting free books that volunteers processed in Sept. 2025. We’re excited to share some of the results of the data collection project below. The complete slideshow can be seen here.



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.
