DC Books To Prisons
We serve incarcerated readers. Donate: https://t.co/ltqKZypnIR or find more info here: https://t.co/fVvx1sildl DC Books to Prisons (BtP) works to provide books to prisoners by responding to individual inmates' requests and supporting prison libraries. BtP provides prisoners with inspiration, compassion, and education through the joy of reading. The mission of DC Books to Prisons is to provide a wide variety of informative, educational and enjoyable reading material, free of charge, to inmates in United States prisons. We prioritize inmates in underserved regions and respond to individual inmates’ requests, whenever possible including short personal notes (which are sometimes as important as the books we send). Efforts include selected secondary projects to address the gap in resources and access to reading material. We believe that books can change lives. They can change the way people view the world, other people, and themselves, provide an education, provide a vocabulary, and open minds to new possibilities.
