pickEngaging book about prison education and reading programs. Makes a strong case for how books can change lives, no matter the setting. The focus here is Shakespeare, who covered everything and can be interpreted in so many ways. Bates received a Mother‘s Day card from one inmate whose life she touched.

“This place is great!” Newton told me that day, gesticulating around his cell. “Great for reading Shakespeare.”

I run a little free library and help with some other local book/reading projects. I recently had an insightful conversation with someone who was released from a 3 month county jail sentence. She asked me to donate books to jails, told me what kinds of books are needed, & how important they are to inmates. I'm researching groups online, but does anyone have advice or suggestions for this type of effort? Thanks!
