The Prisoners Literature Project Fosters Learning Among the Incarcerated

For July, the Floret Coalition is supporting The Prisoners Literature Project! The Prisoners Literature Project is an inclusive, all-volunteer, grassroots nonprofit whose purpose is to encourage reading, the pursuit of knowledge, and self-determination among incarcerated people.

“In American prisons, access to books is treated as a privilege, not a right. That’s why prison book programs are vital.”

By sending free reading materials to those behind bars, the nonprofit aims to foster learning and critical thinking. The PLP believes all people have a right to read.
