DC Books to Prisons

Founded in 1999, DC Books to Prisons provides free books to individual prisoners. We also develop and support prison libraries. Our work is done solely by concerned volunteers using donated time and resources.

Each year, we send more than 7,000 book packages to prisoners in over 600 prisons in the United States. We serve state and federal prisoners in 34 states, and federal prisoners in Arizona.

Volunteers: Organize and pack books, start a book drive, and more.
