Books 2 Prisoners started in 1992 in response to prisoner complaints
over the lack of current and diverse reading materials available in
prison libraries. Our mandate is to send books free of charge to
prisoners by request. We currently send books to prisoners in to
over fifty Canadian prisons, jails and youth detention centres. Our
books are donated by publishers, distributers, book stores and
individual sources.

We will be accepting donations of new or used books at the door.
Video In has set up a drop box for anyone who wants to donate books
but can't make it to the event. This drop box will only be there
until July 27th 2004.
