Which organisation led the 'Books for Prisoners' campaign?

• A. The Howard League for Penal Reform.
• B. Prison Reform Trust
• C. The Women's Institute
• D. The National Offender Management Service

Answer: (A)

This item tests your recall of which organization spearheaded a well-known effort to support prisoners through reading. The Howard League for Penal Reform has a long history of promoting education and humane treatment as paths to reform, and it led the Books for Prisoners campaign, encouraging donations of books to inmates to expand access to literature and learning.

That link between the campaign and the Howard League is what makes it the best answer: the organization's mission aligns directly with using books to promote rehabilitation within the prison system. The other groups are involved in related areas—policy reform, broad community work, or government offender management—but they did not initiate this particular campaign.
