Your generosity ensures that inmates receive new books for their clubs, and moves us closer to our goal of opening a book club in every penitentiary across Canada. Book clubs encourage inmates to improve their literacy, empathy, and pro-social skills, and help reintegrate them more successfully into communities upon release. Inmates are resoundingly grateful to be in these clubs - which for some offer the only opportunity for human connection and to have their voices heard. 

“The book club is deeply humanizing.”  - Member at Beaver Creek Medium Institution

“The Book Club is an enormous source of intellectual and social – sometimes even spiritual – inspiration to both myself and the many others who attend. It is an oasis we get one day a month. I have watched men in that group realize their potential to analyze and reflect that I don’t know if they even realized they had.” - Member at Collins Bay Medium Institution
