Book Review Requests

PJP has a review section, where writers review books, TV shows or films that touch on incarceration. If you are interested in having a PJP writer review a book, email pjp@prisonjournalismproject.org with a description of the book (review copies will need to be sent directly to the writer from the publisher due to prison rules).
