style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet
MS","sans-serif"">Founded in 1972 by the
American Civil Liberties Union, the <b>National Prison
Project</b> <b>(NPP)</b> seeks to ensure
constitutional conditions of confinement in prisons,
jails, juvenile facilities, and immigration detention
facilities. It seeks to promote prisoners’ rights
through class action litigation and public education.
NPP priorities include reducing prison overcrowding,
improving prisoner medical care, eliminating violence
and maltreatment, and increasing oversight and
accountability in prisons, jails, and other places of
detention. The Project also coordinates a nationwide
network of litigators, conducts training and public
education conferences, and provides expert advice and
technical assistance to local community groups and
lawyers throughout the country. </span></p>

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet
MS","sans-serif"">The Project also works
to challenge the policies of over-incarceration that
have led the United States to imprison more people than
any other country in the world. This is an opportune
moment to reform such policies. There is a growing
consensus among criminal justice experts and
policymakers that America’s criminal justice system has
relied too heavily on incarceration as the first and
often only response for non-violent behavior that could
better be addressed through other means. The population
in American prisons and jails has tripled in the past 15
years and now approaches two and a half million.
Facilities are overcrowded; medical systems are
overwhelmed; work, education, and treatment programs are
inadequate; and prison violence has increased. This
failed experiment does not make us safer, it is not
affordable, and it exacerbates the racial disparities
that have long plagued the criminal justice system. </span></p>

staff of seven lawyers, has fought and continues to
fight unlawful prison conditions and practices through
successful litigation on behalf of prisoners in more
than 25 states. Since 1991, the Project has represented
prisoners in five cases before the United States Supreme
Court. It is the only organization litigating prison
conditions of confinement nationwide on behalf of men,
women, and juveniles. Currently, the Project represents
over 50,000 prisoners housed in prisons and jails in 12
states, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.</span></p>
