NYC Books Through Bars
I recently slipped through a sidewalk cellar door to enter the basement
of Freebird Books, a large space crammed with books organized into
different sections, where I spent the evening reading letters from
prison inmates and selecting and packaging books for them. At least
twice a week, volunteers go through the 700-800 letters NYC Books
Through Bars, a collective based in New York City, New York, receives
from inmates every month and fulfill their requests.
