Prison Reform Attorneys

Prison reform attorneys use litigation and advocacy to challenge unconstitutional conditions, abusive practices, and the systemic denial of prisoner rights in jails and state and federal prisons. These cases — which cover everything from cruel and unusual punishment and dangerous overcrowding to denial of medical care and access to courts — often result in court-ordered reforms and consent decrees that change how facilities operate and protect the rights of everyone inside.
