Louisiana Books 2 Prisoners
About this Organization
Louisiana Books 2 Prisoners (LAB2P) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in New Orleans, Louisiana. LAB2P addresses educational needs of incarcerated people in state and federal detention facilities in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama by providing them with free reading materials. A team of volunteers read request letters from incarcerated readers and select books based on their interests from an extensive library of donated and purchased books. Books are packaged and then mailed to readers in facilities across the region. These books provide recipients with entertainment, information, and a connection to the outside world. Books received through LAB2P positively impact the lives of thousands of incarcerated people, as well as their loved ones and communities.
