| The Buddhist Association of the United States Prison Program provides free books and, when available, tapes about Buddhism to prisoners who request them and answers questions they may have about Buddhism or Buddhist practice. If the prison Chaplain is willing to be the recipient, a carton of books on Buddhism can be sent to them for the prison library. The books that we have are those whose authors have given us permission to reprint them for free distribution. The list of books available changes as new titles come in and, because of this, we do not maintain a catalog of available books. We did have a pen pal program, but the requests for pen pals by prisoners far exceeded our ability to provide them, so we discontinued this part of our Prison Program. When requested by a prisoner, a list of Dharma Centers near the prisoner¡¦s facility will be provided to them as well as a listing of Buddhist organizations providing pen pals and/or prisoner services.
