ACLU
The National Prison Project (NPP) of the ACLU is dedicated to ensuring that prisons, jails, and detention centers adhere to constitutional and human rights standards while addressing the crisis of over-incarceration in the United States. Since its inception in 1972, the NPP has represented over 100,000 incarcerated individuals, focusing on combating unconstitutional conditions of confinement through litigation, public education, and advocacy efforts.
The NPP prioritizes a range of issues, including exposing domestic torture, protecting health and safety in prisons, safeguarding human dignity, and preserving access to the courts for prisoners. Additionally, the organization works to improve conditions for immigration detainees and advocates against private prison systems that profit from incarceration.
