We are a non-profit civil rights law firm dedicated to ensuring that inmates in Colorado prisons and jails are housed in a humane and rehabilitative environment, ending correctional practices that are detrimental to the health and safety of inmates and Coloradans alike, and reforming the federal and Colorado criminal justice systems by advocating for change of correctional policies and practices that perpetuate high rates of recidivism and create barriers to reentry for ex-offenders. We are particularly concerned with the overuse of long-term segregation, especially the proliferation of "supermax" prisons, and with the unique challenges faced by women prisoners, including sexual abuse and reproductive health and freedom.
