We are a volunteer-run prison abolition project that provides free books to incarcerated people. First & only B2P program in New Jersey. Based in Wildwood. 🖤
Jails have a perverse incentive to keep people locked up: the millions of dollars state agencies pay them for boarding people serving sentences.
State and federal agencies pay local jails a per-day fee for each person held on their behalf, and these fees can rack up quickly.
We need paperback horror & thrillers! Hauntings, ghouls, demons, serial killers, witchcraft, paranormal forces, and more.
Mail to: PO BOX 2611 Wildwood, NJ 08260.
You can also buy specific books off our Amazon Wishlist. Links in bio.

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian who was murdered as an enemy of the State. Anything else is just a lie.
