The Prison Book Program's exhibition Art From Inside will remain on display in the Flora T. Little Gallery through the month of November.

About the Program:
Prison Book Program has been supporting the freedom to read for incarcerated men and women since 1972. Most book requests come in the form of a handwritten letter, and PBP responds with a package of books which have been selected to match each requestor's specific needs and interests.

About the Exhibit:
Art from Inside is a curated selection of works that incarcerated men and women have sent to Prison Book Program over the course of its 50+ year history. Most pieces have been sent as a token of gratitude for a shipment of free books. Many but not all pieces in the show are book-themed, depicting reading as liberating.

About the Talk:
This program will host a talk Wednesday, November 13th at 6:30PM. Prison Book Program Executive Director Kelly Brotzman will give an overview of the current U.S. prison system and discuss the factors that led to mass incarceration. She will also shed light on access to education and books in the carceral state. Brotzman joins us for this talk while both library art galleries are displaying Art From Inside, a showcase of artwork from prison inmates who have participated in the Prison Book Program.
