WANTED: Sponsors for Books for Prisoners

Although each month we are able to send hundreds of books to prisons, jails, and youth detention centers, we continued to receive book requests from chaplains, librarians, counselors, teachers, staff, and volunteers so they can make our books available to the prisoners they serve.

When someone has a budget or funding available, we work with them to send as many books as we can. Others simply don't have the resources.

Below are several recent book requests that we have not be able to supply, YET.

- A teacher at Franklin Correctional Facility in Malone, New York requested books for an inmate veterans' organization at the prison.

- A chaplain at Tarrant County Jail in Fort Worth, Texas.

- A caring Sergeant at the Leavenworth County Jail in Leavenworth, Kansas has requested at least one copy of each of our books for their book cart to make available to the inmates she helps there. Thanks to a generous person who responded to our Craigslist posting for this, we were able to send 3 of each of our prisoner-related books to this jail.

- A chaplain at the Max Security Unit in Tucker, Arkansas has requested 100 of our books for the men he ministers to.
