Mission
We believe a society of social and economic inequality leads to a cycle of crime and incarceration. We work to reverse the dehumanizing effects excessive punishment inflicts upon individuals, families and communities. Books Through Bars sends quality reading material to prisoners and encourages creative dialogue on the criminal justice system, thereby educating those living inside and outside of prison walls.
SUPPORTED BY PHILLYPRINTWORKS, AFROFUTURIST AFFAIR, FOOD NOT BOMBS, ROCKERS, DECARCERATE PA
