African-Americans are about 7 times more likely to have a prison record than whites

We can throw our hands up or do something. Education beats recidivism.

I just created a petition: Director A.T. Wall, Rhode Island Adult Correctional Institution (ACI):
Allow prison book programs to send used books to inmates at RI's ACI.

I'm trying to collect signatures, and I could really use your help.

It'll just take a minute!
Thanks!!!
