It's #PrisonBannedBooksWeek October 19-25!

Raising awareness of this most pervasive practice of censorship in the US, the 3rd annual Prison Banned Books Week brings together over 60 organizations working for free expression.

(1/4) "Prisons and jails ban more books than all public schools and libraries combined. #PrisonBannedBooksWeek is an annual campaign that shines a light on this widespread censorship and advocates for the rights of incarcerated and detained people to access literature and express themselves freely."

What can you do about book bans in prison? Start by asking your local prison how many books it has stopped from reaching readers inside.

We explain how in our latest piece for #PrisonBannedBooksWeek. And this Wednesday, Oct. 21, you can join us to learn how to put that advice into action.

Today's the last day to support the #PrisonBannedBooksWeek fundraiser for Midwest Books to Prisoners!

Support the important work that Midwest Books to Prisoners
does by participating in their #PrisonBannedBooksWeek fundraiser! All books purchased from this wishlist by October 31st will be matched by another donor!

Last month Illinois DOC began mail scanning through ICSolutions, denying people access to physical mail and frustrating people with new phone/tablet systems. We exposed the dishonest scam earlier this year in our 2025 Prison Censorship Update
