Donate Books
A single book can have an eternal impact. Every week, we receive letters from prisoners who share how a Christian book or Bible encouraged them, strengthened their faith, and pointed them toward Christ.
Every book distributed through Prison Alliance includes information about our Bible study program, providing prisoners with an opportunity to continue growing in God’s Word through ongoing discipleship.
When you donate Christian books, Bibles, and other approved materials, you help place Christian resources into prisons and jails across the country.
Because correctional facilities have strict regulations and our storage space is limited, we can only accept materials that are suitable for prison distribution and align with our mission.
Large Donations
Are you an author, publisher, ministry, church, or individual looking to donate a large quantity of Christian books?

Please Note
Many correctional facilities restrict the types of materials prisoners may receive. In addition, our available storage and distribution channels are limited. For these reasons, Prison Alliance reserves the right to decline any donation that does not meet facility requirements, ministry priorities, theological convictions, or current distribution needs.
Many of our book donors also include a $35 financial gift that offsets the cost of shipping one box of books to a facility. If you would like to help us continue sending free Christian materials to prison chaplains and the inmates they serve, you can include a check or make your donation online.
