Prisoners Literature Project (original) (raw)
To end the year, here are some highlights from PLP’s busy 2024…
The local CBS News affiliate in the Bay Area – KPIX – was kind enough to bring a film crew to cover Prisoners Literature Project in our Berkeley office recently.
It’s time for our annual #GivingTuesday campaign, and we at Prisoners Literature Project have again put together $2,500 in matching funds, so the dollars you donate can be doubled from now until the end of December.
Prisoners Literature Project sends out over 30,000 books a year! There are a huge range of topics requested by incarcerated readers. We do our best to stock books in some of the more popular areas. Here are a few such titles that we thought we’d share.
The 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 prepare people 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 our prison book program answer letters from prisoners who write us from all over the United States.
