"I read a lot of #books over my time incarcerated, and some of the things that I learned in the books helped me along my journey since I’ve been out... I would never have known how to start a food truck business or even have an idea about it unless I was able to read up on it. Another book that I read was a book about how to talk to children and communicate with them." - Korelli Loyalty Woods, in an excellent #Arkansas Times article

Arkansas is considering the strictest book ban in the country, which would forbid all outside books, magazine and newspapers from being sent directly to people in prison. To understand what’s at stake, we spoke with formerly incarcerated Arkansans about how books helped them free their minds, finish their education and shape their futures.
