Welcome!

The Prison Book Project is a secular, volunteer group that distributes books free-of-charge to prisoners in New England and Texas.

We are dedicated to offering men and women behind bars the opportunity for self-empowerment, education, and entertainment that reading provides.

Due to a lack of finances we will be closed until Fall 2009. All current book requests are being passed along to other prison book projects. Please join our announcements-only email list to receive note of our new volunteer schedule. Just send a blank email to:

pbpamherst-subscribe@lists.riseup.net

Can you help? We rely entirely upon donations from individuals to accomplish our work. Our sole costs are for postage and packaging supplies. Please see our donations page to see how you can help us get back up and running.
