The ACLU National Prison Project is dedicated to ensuring that prisons, jails, and detention centers in the United States comply with constitutional requirements, federal law, and international human rights principles. Since 1972, they have represented over 100,000 individuals, litigating cases from the Virgin Islands to California and advocating for improved prison conditions and the protection of human rights.
Their work includes litigating against supermax prisons, advocating for proper medical and mental health care for prisoners, and fighting for the rights of individuals with disabilities. The National Prison Project also leads campaigns to end extreme solitary confinement, combat domestic torture, and promote equal treatment for all prisoners, regardless of gender or race.
