Bio:
The Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project is an all volunteer effort that strives to encourage self-education among prisoners in the United States. By providing free reading materials upon request, we hope to aid in the rehabilitation process and stimulate critical thinking behind bars.

The Midwest Pages to Prisoners project is an organization made up of volunteers working in their spare time to provide free books to prisoners. Our volunteers are concerned citizens and activists interested in rehabilitation, rather than punishment.

The project exists to alleviate pain, boredom, and attrition and to provide a direct opportunity for self-education. Additionally, we exist because prison libraries sometimes fail in this respect, and are understocked, or are only able to be patronized during specific and limited hours.

BookMooch is a wonderful tool for us to request books that we are in particular need of. It is an emmensensly more efficient and economical way of securing donations versus a donor just giving us a box of random books - unfortunately, the vast majority of which we can not use. Unsolicited donations require a lot of precious volunteer labor to be spent sorting and hauling off boxes of books to the local recycling center. For this reason, we request that books not be sent to us unsolicited.
