Books Through Bars
We send quality reading material to prisoners and encourage creative dialogue on the criminal justice system, thereby educating those living inside and outside of prison walls.

Books Through Bars utilizes our book distribution service as the foundation on which we build innovative programs designed to engage a broad cross-section of the general public in thinking critically about issues of imprisonment.

Current public education initiatives include:

National Poster Project

Designed to inform library patrons about prison education issues, this poster is being distributed throughout the Greater Philadelphia area as well as to libraries around the country. Contact us to request copies of the poster.
