Prison Education Book Connection

Prison Education Book Connection

A partnership between W.W. Norton & Company and the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison

Are you a HEP educator or program administrator looking for free textbooks for your incarcerated students?

Keep checking back! Additional cycles of the program will be announced here.

In celebration of their 100th anniversary, W. W. Norton & Company committed to a number of philanthropic causes, including donating books to higher education in prison programs.

In 2024, the Alliance hosted two cycles of the book donation program, which resulted in over 7,000 book donations and nearly $600,000 in savings for prison education programs.

We'd love to hear from you!

If you have participated in previous cycles of the Prison Education Book Connection, we would love to hear from you about the impact of the donations! Please send any photos, testimonials, and other feedback to alliance@higheredinprison.org.

Applications for the Fall 2025 cycle are now closed.
