Reply to comment by undercurrents in Appalachian prison book project seeks notebook donations: "The books can help inmates learn new skills, broaden their worldviews and obtain college credits through the West Virginia University Higher Education in Prison Initiative" by SAT0725

The photo appears to be a stock image — it’s from a prison, but one in Arkansas, where this organization doesn’t work. Their website does have some restrictions on what they’ll accept, and hardcovers and books that have been written in aren’t acceptable.

I read the caption of the photo. And that's what I commented on. Whether or not it's part of the program. The point was that the caption pointed out these were actual donated books in a prison in Arkansas, and my state has far more restrictions.
