We send books only to people incarcerated in the United States. Fortunately, there are similar groups in other countries. This article describes a group collecting books for prisoners in Manitoba, Canada. (Unlike us, the group provides books only to prison libraries. We mostly serve individuals behind bars, although we also send books to prison libraries from time to time.)

If anyone wants Canadian content in a "Reddit-like" format, lemmy.ca federates with Mastodon. For example, @manitoba can be followed directly on Mastodon (though it's kind of messy, as both posts and comments show up in the feed as "boosts"). Beyond that, you can simply tag the account in a toot, and it will double as a post to that lemmy community - you'll get the replies, too!
