Inside Books Project is a volunteer community service organization based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to sending free reading materials and educational resources to individuals incarcerated in Texas prisons. It stands as the sole books-to-prisoners program in the state, where over 120,000 individuals are currently imprisoned.

Annually, Inside Books Project dispatches more than 30,000 free books to incarcerated individuals, alongside publishing Resource Guides, How-To Guides, and a newsletter. The organization also operates a bookstore that sells donated books to acquire high-demand items like dictionaries, using the proceeds to further support their cause.

With a firm belief in the right of every incarcerated person to access quality reading materials, Inside Books Project champions literacy and education within prison walls, emphasizing the transformative power of reading and learning. The organization's dedicated volunteers and community support are integral to its operations, from sorting book donations to packaging materials for delivery.
