Banned Books Week is the perfect time to talk about censorship. Incarcerated people face the most highly censored reading lists in the United States. This censorship goes beyond listing books and material to be banned, it stretches all the way to the complete denial of all books.
Asheville Prison Books has been sending free books inside for over 25 years. Since 1999 we have sent tens of thousands of books to people on the inside. Many of those people had no other means of obtaining a book.
Help break the isolation! Remind folks on the inside, in a country imprisons its people at a higher than any other country in the world, that they are not forgotten.
