Prison Literacy Project

Find more information on the inmate writing programs by author Jimmy Santiago Baca, the focus of this week's feature "Pen, paper and offenders" by Sarah Etter.

The goal of the Prison Literacy Project is to make books, reading and writing very real and necessary components of an inmate's life—tools that enrich and elevate the spirit and enhance one's chances of attaining goals that are grounded, responsible and contributory.
