Prison libraries play a pivotal role in promoting personal growth and transformation within correctional facilities. At Change of Vision, our mission is to establish and maintain libraries in prisons, providing inmates with access to self-help books that inspire change and equip them with valuable life skills.

The core purpose of prison libraries is to create a conducive environment for learning and self-reflection. These libraries offer a safe space where inmates can immerse themselves in literature that encourages them to set goals, develop leadership qualities, and prepare for reintegration into society.

Key Features of Prison Libraries Include:

  1. Book Collection: Stocking libraries with carefully selected books focused on self-help, leadership, and personal development.

  2. Space Design: Creating welcoming and organized library spaces within prisons to enhance the reading experience.

  3. Access and Support: Ensuring equitable access to books and offering guidance to inmates on utilizing resources effectively.

  4. Educational Initiatives: Hosting book clubs, reading programs, and discussions to engage inmates in meaningful dialogue.

  5. Ongoing Maintenance: Regularly updating library collections and addressing the evolving needs of the inmate population.

Prison libraries serve as a beacon of hope, encouraging inmates to embrace a journey of transformation and self-discovery. By fostering a love for reading, these libraries contribute to reducing recidivism and building a stronger, more compassionate society.
