Bibles and Catechisms for Prisoners

If you or someone you know is involved with prisoners or knows of an incarcerated person who would like to receive a Bible or a Catechism of the Catholic Church, here's a way to get those resources to prisoners free of charge:

The Catholic Biblical Association (CBA) provides help to prisoners by providing the New American Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to prisoners who request one or both. CBA also provides them with other books to the extent that such books are available.

If a prisoner would like either a Bible or Catechism or both, he/she would  need to write a letter of request to the following address:

Catholic Biblical Association
620 Michigan Ave. N.E.
431 Caldwell Hall
Washington D.C. 20064
