We love books
And so do many prisoners. But often they have no access to a library and no means of buying books.
The children of prisoners are often disadvantaged too. We would like prisoners to be able to send books to their children.
Should we really need to be persuading anyone of the importance of books? We don’t think so.
We have therefore set up a small fund to send books to prisoners and their children. (These have to be purchased new from Amazon or similar, as prisons are concerned that other books may contain contraband…)
If prisoners (or their children) enjoy the books or have things to say about them, they are encouraged to submit a brief review, which will we will publicise through our social media and publish in
If prisoners (or their children) enjoy the books or have things to say about them, they are encouraged to submit a brief review, which will publicised by Henry Roi PR, and be published in:
- The Dark Side from the Inside blog: https://thedarksidefromtheinside.wordpress.com/
- Goodreads
If you know any inmate who would like to receive a book, or would like us to send a book on their behalf to their child, please send us their details, with a suggestion from the list below and/or an indication of what they would like to read. Books will be sent by the approved book supplier for the facility concerned. We can’t guarantee that we will be able to meet every request, as this is a limited scheme, but if we can’t send immediately we will keep details on file and send a book as soon as we are able to. Happy reading!
