CoreCivic remains committed to supporting nonprofits that help former offenders, victims of crime and underserved youth. One of those deserving organizations is Book 'em. This charity provides books to economically disadvantaged children who may not own or have access to books.

Book 'em Executive Director Melissa Spradlin said, "It takes a community to change our literacy rates…Book 'em is not going to be able to do that ourselves, so we really do invite lots of partners to come and work with us."

CoreCivic is proud to be one of those partners. To learn more about Book 'em and its impact on our communities, WATCH HERE:
