Best Volunteer-Run Organization

Inside Books Projects

Founded in 1999, the Inside Books Project sends free literature and educational material to Texas' incarcerated population. IBP is run by a core of eight unpaid collective members who oversee the day-to-day administrative operations along with a base of more than 40 volunteers who prepare the bulk of thousands of packages sent to prisoners each year. Last year alone, IBP delivered more than 19,500 books to more than 6,500 prisoners. From pulp fiction and woo-woo to more daunting titles, such as Formulation, Implementation, and Control of Competitive Strategy, IBP's library of donated books reflects the diverse interests of Texas prisoners. Your money, books, and time are always welcome.
