Prison Program


The Prison Program continues our focus on people in prison and the conditions under which they are confined. The program advocates for increasing access to quality programs within prisons that strengthen rehabilitation, ensuring that prisoners and their families have access to information on issues directly affecting the incarcerated, and preventing the implementation of policies or legislation that further erode the constitutional and human rights of incarcerated people.
