A "Commissary Edition" is an edition of a book, authored by an independent writer, that is created specifically with the incarcerated reader and the friends and families of incarcerated readers in mind.
"Commissary Editions" are the original content of independently published novels, and also include additional content which makes it a "Commissary Edition".
All "Commissary Editions" include a special Letter to the Incarcerated Reader at the beginning of each title, written by the author or publisher of the book.
All "Commissary Editions" include exclusive Book Club Questions at the end so that the incarcerated readers and their friends and loved ones can read along with their own copy, and discuss the title after reading.
All "Commissary Editions" covers are black and white only. This is so the DOC/FBOP and other secured facilities do not refuse reading material to an incarcerated reader due to cover art or imagery.
The 21st Street Publishing Group fights diligently to protect the inmate's constitutional right to read, and to lighten the economic impact of reading on the already marginalized community of the incarcerated and those most impacted by the mass incarceration epidemic in the US.
The 21st Street "Commissary Editions" provide indie authors and publishers with an opportunity to reach readers that are most often overlooked or historically inaccessible.
It is our pleasure to serve the global literary community, as we have indie authors of all genres, from all over the world thanks to our UK partner, The Book Dragon.
It is an equally honorable pleasure to provide quality books to our loyal incarcerated readers and the free readers impacted by incarceration.
We have relationships with 1,500+ state prisons, 90+ Federal Prisons, 2,100+ County Jails, 1,400+ Juvenile Facilities, 100+ Immigration Detention Centers, and more than 45 Indian Reservation County Jails. We will always donate more titles to incarcerated readers than we sell as part of our philanthropic mission.
We are truly grateful for your literary support.
