About our resource guide, the Pennsylvania Prison Directory Action
The Pennsylvania Prison Directory Action is a resource guide we publish for prisoners, families, ex-prisoners, and prison activists in Pennsylvania. For many prisoners, it is their only link to the outside world. It contains a wide variety of information ranging from legal and spiritual support to post-release jobs and housing.
The PADA is free for download in Word and PDF format:
