Prisoners Literature Project featured on NPR!

247_books_to_prisonersLast month, Boston-based NPR reporter David Freudberg flew out to do a story about the Prisoners Literature Project. His 20-minute piece about the PLP — featuring our volunteers Gina, Alex, Eric, and Steffi — will air 7pm tomorrow (Sunday 24th) night on KPFA (91.4 FM).

 Thanks so much to NPR and David for spreading the word about the Prisoners Literature Project — and the dire situation of incarcerated Americans — to a national audience!
 
There’s more info about the program on the Human Media website.

Sending books to incarcerated people for over 40 years

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.

Please consider donating to the 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.
