Words Stretching Beyond Bars & Walls
All volunteer | Nonprofit | Since 1994
Serving incarcerated women, trans, and nonbinary people across the U.S.
KEEP OUR SHELVES STOCKED WITH LGBTQIA+ BOOKS
Queer and trans people are disproportionately incarcerated in the United States. And once they enter the criminal legal system, they are subject to cruel and harsh treatment. And a shocking 85% of LGBTQIA+ people who have been incarcerated have been put in solitary confinement.
The books, resources, and messages we send break through the isolation of prison, and ensure that LGBTQIA+ people can feel heard and supported.
THANK YOU FROM OUR READERS
“I want to thank you all for your dedication and perseverance in helping us ‘forgotten ones’… Some people may take your endeavors for granted…. But I sincerely appreciate your support. I sit alone in a Solitary Confinement Administrative Segregation 23.5 hours a day lockdown… and books are my way outside these steel stone walls.”
“Dear Women’s Prison Book Project, thank you so much for the books. They have touched me in so many ways. They have been supportive and encouraging on my journey to help me as I go forward and grow in my spirit. I appreciate your giving and kindness.”
“All in all, you have helped me in your gifts to keep my sanity in such a crazy, chaotic place. I am forever indebted to you and yours for these gifts. I have been receiving books from you for quite some time now and feel blessed for the opportunities you have given me to expand my mind as well as my life.
