Access to justice
We campaign for prisoners’ right to access legal information, legal representation and free legal aid, and strive to protect prisoners from reprisal for engaging in litigation. These rights are essential for prisoners judicial protection and to ensure that legal developments are not merely theoretical, but also have a practical impact on prison systems.
