National Prison Project
The National Prison Project is a Division of the NAACP Branch and Field Services Department. The purpose of the NAACP Prison Project is to promote partnerships, legislation, and initiatives that positively impact inmate recidivism, ex-felon re-enfranchisement and racial disparities within the criminal justice system; as well provide the incarcerated with a vehicle of empowerment through the formation of Prison Branches.
The priorities for the Project are to assist in national, state, and local efforts to re-enfranchise former felons who have served their sentence, reactivate former prison branches and activate new prison branches, assist in providing voter registration and voter education, address disparate treatment of inmates, identify and provide referrals for inmates and their families through collaborative partnerships.
