Mission and programs · 2022

Primary exempt purpose

Prisoners Literature Project sends books, educational materials and contact information of legal support organizations to incarcerated individuals across the US, serving approximately 12,000 persons annually.

  • Sending books to incarcerated individuals: we conduct approximately 3 book-packing sessions with community volunteers every week, and send around 1,000 book packages per month to incarcerated individuals in 49 U.S. states. These include dictionaries, genre books, drawing books, and many other subjects that we either get donated or buy from remainder book distributors.
