Humane Conditions in Prisons Are a Constitutional Guarantee
The population in American prisons and jails has tripled in the past 15 years with the predictable consequence that facilities are overcrowded; medical systems are overwhelmed; work, education, and treatment programs are inadequate; and idleness and stress lead to greater levels of violence. We have fought and continue to fight these conditions through successful litigation on behalf of prisoners.

TAKE ACTION
Reform California's Money Bail System
California needs to stop wasting time and resources on this unfair and ineffective system that is harming our communities – particularly low-income people and people of color. The California Money Bail Reform Act would do this by cutting back on the number of people locked up because they can’t afford to post bail and prioritizing services to help people make their court appearances while their cases move forward.
Use this form to urge your state representatives to vote YES on California Money Bail Reform Act (SB 10 & AB 42).
