Your book program has been invaluable to me during my incarceration. I have worked hard to read and learn during my incarceration so that my time is not wasted. I firmly believe in lifelong learning. This is why books and reading are so important to me. While incarcerated, I have earned a master’s degree and legal training from an accredited Colorado state university and I am presently working on my dissertation for a PhD in Christian education from another accredited college seminary.

The books you have sent in the past have been tremendous and exactly what I was looking for. As soon as I finish reading them, I have shared them with the other men on my unit…so each book you donate is really donated to an entire group of inmates, not just one individual.
