Channel: Firestorm Books
Date: 22/04/2024

Dave "Mac" Marquis, co-editor of "Books Through Bars," is joined by Julie of Asheville Prison Books and Eliza of Tranzmission Prison Project to discuss the revolutionary history of the prison books movement, the experiences of Asheville participants, and the many challenges faced by incarcerated readers and their allies today.

ABOUT THE BOOK
-----
This book contains essays that explain the need for prison book programs and offer advice on how to establish or become involved with prison books programs, as well as shedding light on current challenges. While mass incarceration can make people feel powerless, this book details how ordinary people can organize and intervene in the largest imprisonment the world has ever known. The editors of this book hope it will inspire more people to realize that everyone has the power to treat each other differently and to foster a culture of care over cruelty.
