Books to Prisoners

A great company offering books to prisoners. Their books are donated,
so choices can be limited - especially if the prisoner is in a prison that only allows new books.
Due to the many prison ministries, Books to Prisoners do not carry religious materials.
Prisoners should note that they can get 6 months behind due to volume,
so they have to be very patient. Friends and family writing to request books
for their relatives are welcome to make a donation to help with costs.
They work hard and could use help in many different areas.
Please see their website for ways you can help.

Note: Please let them know when you write what the restrictions
are on the books you may receive.
