Website: http://prisonpenpals.com/booksbehindbars.html
This website lists prisons across the United States that need different types of books for the inmate population. Each prison listed provides information on the following: whether or not books can be dropped off; types of books and materials needed; where to send books; and contact information. The organization encourages people to donate their books and magazines directly to prisons, particularly those prisons in another state. In addition to books and magazines, this organization encourages people to donate their old telephone books directly to prisons to the attention of the prison librarian. It also recommends notifying the post office that books are being mailed in order to receive the lower book rate.
