URBANA CHAMPAIGN BOOKS TO PRISONERS | URBANA CHAMPAIGN BOOKS TO PRISONERS
A volunteer working group of the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center that collects books from the community to provide them to people incarcerated in Illinois at no cost to them, by mail, and in Champaign county jail and Juvenile Detention Center. Volunteers primarily interact with prisoners by reading their letters, selecting books from a collection of donated materials, and shipping those books directly to them in response to their requests, or by entering the county jail once a week to provide books and library services.
