Prison Banned Books Week 2023

We are in the middle of Prison Banned Books Week, October 25-31.

Earlier this month, Banned Books Week drew attention to the myriad of books being targeted for removal or restriction in libraries and schools.

Incarcerated folks deal with frequent book bans specific to their situation.

This week celebrates the right & freedom to read while incarcerated, and spotlights carceral censorship.

Check out the two articles below written by readers and writers inside.
