Storybook Dads
Storybook Dads is a non-profit charity in the UK founded by Sharon Berry and first launched in HM Prison Dartmoor in 2003. The charity enables serving prisoners and detainees to record bed time stories which can then be sent home to their children, and aims to maintain connections between serving prisoners and their families. In women's institutions the project operates under the name Storybook Mums. By 2019 the scheme was in place in about 100 British prisons, including women's prisons and has been adopted by members of the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy on active service abroad. The charity's headquarters is in HMP Channings Wood in Devon, and has inspired similar programmes in other countries, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Hungary, Poland and New Zealand.
