Scrolling
through Facebook one day, I came across a post by Joe Clifford. It was a
picture of a pile of books describing how he sends books to currently/previously
incarcerated individuals. I was quite intrigued by this as I’d never seen
anyone else do something like this.
This past
year, I decided to start a newsletter showcasing an individual author each
month. April 2024 was Joe’s month and I wanted to know more about this program.
Fortunately, before scheduling my newsletter to go, on another random Facebook
scroll, I found that Joe has revamped his book program.
Joe says: “I've revamped my website with some new deals, 2
for 1 kind of stuff, signed copies, bundles, etc. But the big one is "Buy
One, Give One," which is part of my "Reading Is a Right" program
that allows me to send free books to currently/previously incarcerated
individuals. If you know someone in prison, family member, friend, casual
acquaintance, just give me their inmate number and mailing address and I'll
ship out a free, signed book. I'll send as many as they want to read. I
could've ended up in San Quentin if not for the many, many (many) second
chances I was given. Being incarcerated shouldn't take away opportunities to
read.”
I am hoping by helping Joe spread the word about his amazing
program, it will make a difference in someone’s life. I think it’s a good thing
Joe is doing, a positive thing. If you’d like to help Joe with his program,
contact him for details (joe@joeclifford.com).
