Reading With Conviction is dedicated to donating books to prisons in North Carolina and Texas for use in libraries and educational programs. We strive to do so as efficiently as possible, so that the contributions and efforts of our donors go towards their intended purpose of rehabilitation and literacy.

Since 2008 Reading With Conviction has shipped over 11,900 books to prisons:

Your donation of money or books can help us reach our goals. You can donate instantly via PayPal or send us books.

Donating anything to a prison is not a simple matter, and books are no exception. To ensure that our contributions make it to the shelves of prison libraries while imposing a minimal amount of time and expense on the very busy employees of the TDCJ, please make sure all your books conform to these guidelines before donating. You can also purchase new books on our wish list from Amazon.com, or donate cash using the convenient link on the sidebar.
