Big House Books

Big House Books PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO READ Big House doesn’t judge a book by its cover. We believe in literacy for all – even for those in our correctional facilities.

That’s why we’ve set out to provide books to Mississippians in prisons and juvenile detention centers. Every person has the right to educate themselves, and it’s our goal to make that a reality. Big House Books is a non-profit, volunteer organization that sends free books by request to prisoners in Mississippi correctional facilities in order to promote literacy and be a vehicle of change for prison reform. https://linktr.ee/bighousebooksms
