Almost exactly 1 year ago, the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective challenged Jackson to start a local prison books organization to serve Mississippi’s incarcerated population.
We celebrated 1 year of accepting the challenge with our first book packing party!
We filled all of the outstanding book requests from Parchment Correctional Facility, some of which have been waiting a very long time for books!
Thank you to everyone who donated time, funds, and books to make our first book packing party a success.
Huge shoutout to our working hosts at TurnUp Studios. Ya’ll are the best.
