Review for Liberation Prison Project Inc, San Francisco, CA, USA
It's difficult to put words on paper my thoughts and feelings about all the good that the Liberation Prison Project does for men and women in prison in the US and around the world. With a handful of dedicated staff and volunteers, LPP provides Buddhist prisoners with books, materials, as well as ongoing letters answering various questions. Many prisoners, because of their crimes, have been disowned by their own families thus leaving a huge void that is oftentimes filled by the loving support from the many LPP teachers & staff. Through word of mouth, or by finding the address of LPP in a Buddhist book that had been sent to their prison library, each individual writes a letter stating their interest and the process begins.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
having first written to a Buddhist prisoner for several months and when she was released to transitional housing, my wife and I arranged with her parole agent and Walden House to drive her to Sunday teachings at our monastery in Long Beach. She is now off parole and and works for LPP. Pretty amazing...
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
some of the brightest & most dedicated people I have ever met.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
complete their plans for Sherab Plaza and provide state of the art Buddhist teachings...
