About us | Prison Book Program is a grassroots organization that exists for one purpose—to send free books to prisoners. Books are crucial to the political, spiritual, and educational development of all people. Most prisons do not allow family and friends to send books into prisons; they must come from a bookstore or publisher. Our affiliation with the Lucy Parsons Bookstore and our many sources of books to serve incarcerated people allows us to serve several thousand prisoners every year. In a time of cuts in educational programs for prisons, we serve a vital purpose. |
