NV-Cure Bookdrive to ESP completed! Thank you!

The NV-CURE Book Drive for ESP was completed on 4/2/16. The Icelady brought the books she gathered in the North down to William in Vegas. William combined them with the books-gather in Vegas. Laurie drove the books to Ely and delivered the books (13 boxes of paperback books) the Associate Warden at ESP.

Congratulations people and a big that you for the help - particularly to Icelady, William and Laurie. Good job done. The guys in solitary, and those who are forced to share a cell with another man for long hours per day, will appreciate them.

Our next goal for our book drive will be the women's prison, FMWCC.

NV-CURE has completed another successful book drive

The books we collected were delivered to LCC yesterday.  Thank you all for your donations and help.  

 

We will begin another book drive in the near future.  Again, thank you all for the help - and a BIG THANK YOU to the people that gathered and delivered the books.  Great job.

Nevada-Cure Book Drive!

We have started a Book-Drive to get the libraries of the prisons in Nevada filled with some new or some more books for those incarcerated.Books form a very welcome and helpful way of educating, diffusing tension and giving a mental boost to people who are locked up.

Some prisoners have been locked up in solitary confinement for 23 to 24/7 since extremely long time (years...).

The libraries are not a priority of NDOC, nor is education or rehabilitation high on the agenda of NDOC. Yet, libraries need fresh streams of books from time to time in order to keep their goals.

You can help us with the book drive:

Anyone with books to donate to NDOC prisones should contact KIM at (702) 378-1217 and arrange for her to pick-up or take delivery of the books to be donated. She is handling the book donation drive for NV-CURE. Please contact Kim as soon as possible. If you cannot reach her, email [email protected].

This book drive has been a long and drawn out project - and we need to get books to the prisoners as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help.

What kind of books?

Paperbacks are best, because from hardbacks covers will be taken.
Non-fiction: languages, dictionaries, history books and politics, religions. Healthcare books, medical books, spiritual books, etc.
Spanish books, African American books, etc.
