We are pleased to include a new resource to our list. This wonderful partner, Mahakailasa Ashram, based in New York City, has a library project which offers books on personal growth and spirituality to inmates.

This organization also distributes Lalitamba magazine, a journal of contemporary spiritual literature.

Their Prison Outreach Project is happy to distribute books, magazines, and the Bible to inmates upon request.

About

The Ways & Means Resource List is a national resource directory for inmates created by the volunteers at the Prison Library Project.

The Prison Library Project’s mission is to provide free reading materials to inmates nationwide. We prioritize educational and self-help literature as well as recognize the value of literacy development through active engagement with books in general. The PLP serves a wide range of communities within the prison system: librarians, chaplains, drug/alcohol recovery groups, domestic abuse and HIV/AIDS support groups and others. Our goal is to promote literacy, personal responsibility, reflection, and growth.

We openly invite inmates to embrace the PLP’s mission and foster a deep appreciation for the world of books, ideas, and education. We hope to help those who receive our materials learn to take charge of their lives in positive ways and to return to society with new abilities, awareness, and the confidence to contribute to their families and communities in meaningful ways.
