As we look forward to all that 2023 has in store for us here at Free Minds, we would like to take time to highlight the amazing ending of 2022 and thank all of our supporters for their contributions throughout the year. In our last report, we mentioned the mailing restrictions in the prison system that sometimes impede access to books, and our successful efforts to lift these restrictions in several facilities. FM member Wali, who is currently incarcerated in New Jersey wrote “…I’ve received all the books I didn’t get to read due to book restrictions in the prisons. I just want to say thank you for fighting for us prisoners to keep the right to order books…I hope everybody enjoys their day, and always remember you can imprison the body but you can never imprison the mind.” Responses like these are why we do what we do!
