3Rs Currently has 4 active chapters. Not all prisons are being served.  This occurs when a prison library lacks a librarian, library staff indicate that they cannot process new books or want books, or when a prison is located too far away from our chapters.  If no chapter is near you, contact 3Rs about starting one.
