Harvard Prison Legal Assistance Project

The Harvard Prison Legal Assistance Project is a law student clinic providing service to indigent incarcerated people, including advocacy for those charged with violating prison regulations, people appearing before Parole Board and disciplinary hearings, and legal research assistance for those who are currently incarcerated. Because this program is university-affiliated, it may not be staffed during transitional periods in the academic schedule. Provides post-conviction administrative advocacy, not direct pre-conviction litigation. Collect calls accepted. Spanish language available over the phone upon request. Spanish know-your-rights packets related to disciplinary tickets and parole hearings available.   Provides representation to incarcerated people in disciplinary and parole hearings and legal research in Massachusetts only.
