Prison Book Program

The Prison Book Program has supplied individuals and groups of prisoners with quality reading material since 1972. Each week the Prison Book Program receives approximately 200 letters from prisoners around the country requesting reading material and/or information. The wide array of material they send includes dictionaries, legal self-help texts, GED manuals, historical books, spiritual works and literature. Prison Book Program also makes available a resource list that includes information on advocacy groups, health care information, Pen Pal programs, family support networks/groups, Gay/Lesbian, Bi Sexual and Transgender (GLBT) support groups, information on other book programs and outlets for their creativity.
