Because prisoners in American Prison s are not able to receive books from sources other than recognised publishers, bookstores, or other legitimate distributors, those without the financial resources to buy books had very limited access to them. New Society Publishers began its program after it began receiving letters from indigent prisoners, and provides donated books to individual prisoners, prison libraries, and Halfway House s. The organization distributes several hundred packages per month. It also sponsors regular public events relating to issues such as Human Rights , the War On Drugs , and Prison Reform . Books Through Bars is run by nine core members plus about twenty volunteers, and is supported by grant money from a number of charitable organizations. EXTERNAL LINKS |
