National Prison Project

The National Prison Project is an initiative aimed at improving the conditions of prisons and jails across the United States. Founded by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), it focuses on ensuring that incarcerated individuals' rights are protected, with an emphasis on ending overcrowding, enhancing healthcare, and addressing issues like violence and mistreatment. The project advocates for reforms through litigation, policy recommendations, and public education. Its goal is to create a more humane and effective correctional system that upholds justice and rehabilitation rather than solely punishment.
