It's #PrisonBannedBooksWeek and we're inviting you to learn more about the oversized role that America's oversized prison system plays in censoring and restricting book access—particularly for low income folks, people of color, queers, and others with criminalized identities. 1/5
A photo taken inside of Firestorm Books shows a book display for Prison Banned Books Week. A sign on the display reads "Did you know that prisons censor more books than all the schools and libraries in the country combined? Learn more at prisonbannedbooksweek.org." In the background, a banner reads "We struggle in memory of all we've lost to white supremacy and fascism."

Last month Illinois DOC began mail scanning through ICSolutions, denying people access to physical mail and frustrating people with new phone/tablet systems. We exposed the dishonest scam earlier this year in our 2025 Prison Censorship Update
