I managed to capture the great work of @giveabookorg.bsky.social on a recent trip into HMP Isis, the first few hours in a cell with nothing must be an incredibly difficult time, having access to something to read is essential.

📚 For 3 years we’ve run the project - Isis: A Reading Prison - to raise the profile of reading across the prison.
