The Prisoners Literature Project is a grassroots organization that sends
free books to prisoners in the United States:

Most prisons do not allow prisoners to receive books directly from individuals. Instead, books must be sent through “pre-approved vendors” such as publishers or expensive bookstores like Barnes & Noble. In many cases, prisoners do not have anyone on the outside who is willing or able to send books via this route. This is where PLP steps in. We believe that everyone deserves access to literature and educational materials, including people trying to work towards social change, self-empowerment or rehabilitation within the incarceration system.
