PRISON 365
Nonprofits • Book programs • Sponsors

A wonderful book belongs within reach.

Could a small illustrated annual bring a laugh, a puzzle, a curiosity or a quiet five minutes to someone in prison? We think it is worth exploring—carefully, honestly and with the receiving institution's approval.

Read the genuine sample ↗Discuss a sponsorship

1. Read it first

Review real pages, puzzle difficulty, print readability and cultural suitability. The sample is free and needs no account.

2. Identify a reading program

Discuss potential interest with a prison library, literacy nonprofit, chaplaincy or qualified book-to-prison program. No institution is assumed to accept this title.

3. Confirm the approved route

Determine which edition, approved vendor, shipping address, book format and quantity rules apply before proposing a purchase.

4. Sponsor only when ready

Once the paperback, price, seller, and delivery terms are verified, eligible organizations can discuss funded copies or an institution-approved pilot.

Published book

Read the actual paperback listing on Amazon ↗. The Kindle ebook ↗ is also available. Please do not ship unsolicited books to a correctional institution until its permitted vendor, receiving department and quantity have been verified.

Interested in helping?

You might be a nonprofit director, philanthropic donor, book club, employer, foundation, library, faith organization, or an individual who simply thinks readers deserve something delightful.

We welcome exploratory conversations about prison-library pilots, donated copies, reading programs, and permitted institutional distribution. Please do not send incarcerated people's names, identification numbers, case files or sensitive histories in an introductory message.

Current status · November 2026: Sponsorship conversations are open; fundraising checkout, donation acceptance, tax-deductibility representations, prison-specific paperback fulfillment and receiving rules, institutional approval and sponsor delivery are not live or verified. No donation is being solicited or collected on this page. Any future sponsored-copy program requires verified costs, accounting, permissions and a compliant fulfillment pathway.

A possible responsible sponsorship model

A participating nonprofit or sponsor could eventually support a specified number of books delivered through approved channels, with documented costs and a transparent outcome report. This is a proposal, not an existing program or promise of delivery.
