Hare Krishna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who has sent stamps, money, books, japa beads, etc., to help us in spreading Krishna consciousness throughout our nation's prisons. We are doing a very difficult task by trying to introduce Krishna into the prisons, and we can use all the help we can get.

We currently have put books into prison libraries and given books to individual inmates all over the country. We hope and pray that other Vaishnavas may see the immense need of introducing Krishna consciousness into our the prisons.

There are so many interested inmates and so many prisons to get books into that it is overwhelming. If you would like to help with donations of stamps, books, money, or japa beads or are interested in preaching to inmates in your spare time, please contact us at
