Wish List of Chicago Books to Women in Prison

Purchases from this registry will be held at the store

Chicago Books to Women in Prison (CBWP) is an all-volunteer organization that sends free books to incarcerated women and trans people around the country. CBWP does this work because access to information in prison is limited. For each request, volunteers hand select three books that match what the requester wants. CBWP typically sends around 75 packages each week, but because we know people share books, we are reaching more than 75 people each week. 

The books on this wishlist are frequently requested but rarely donated titles such as GED books, books about trauma and addiction recovery, coloring and puzzle books, and dictionaries, thesauruses, and vocabulary books. 

For more information, you can visit our website or follow us on Instagram. Please email us at chicagobwp@gmail.com with any questions. We appreciate your support!
