We create, curate, print, and distribute books on spirituality, mindfulness, and wellness to people experiencing incarceration and their families. This includes working with writers and authors who have experienced incarceration to create and publish new works. These resources are sent at no charge in response to requests received from people who are incarcerated, their families, and those working in prisons. In 2025, we distributed over 8,000 books free of charge and offered resources on the free educational app, Edovo, which is available at 1,400 prisons and jails across the country. We have 118 resources available on this app. These resources have been accessed over 420,000 times over the past 3 years.
