The National Prison Project of the ACLU is committed to ensuring that prisons, jails, and detention centers adhere to constitutional requirements and international human rights principles, while addressing the issue of over-incarceration in the United States. Since its inception in 1972, the organization has represented over 100,000 individuals, using litigation, public education, and advocacy to combat unconstitutional conditions of confinement nationwide.

Key priorities of the National Prison Project include ending domestic torture, improving health and safety in prisons, promoting human dignity, and protecting prisoners' access to the courts. The organization also advocates for reforms related to immigration detainee conditions and the elimination of private prisons, emphasizing the importance of upholding the rights and well-being of incarcerated individuals.
