Books for Prisoners

Books for PrisonersĀ is a non-profit, student organization at UCSD affiliated with Groundwork Books. The organization receives letters from inmates all over the country requesting books and resources. Donated books (textbooks, novels, magazines, dictionaries, etc.) are sent directly to the inmates who write in. Often they send artwork, stories and letters about their lives inside the prison system. Books for Prisoners goal is to help better educate inmates while they are incarcerated in the prison system while at the same time challenging the prison industrial complex.
