The Political Prisoner Law Project addresses the specific issues of oppression, repression, constitutional, and human rights violations as related to political prisoners in the United States. The Project engages in advocacy such as letters and statements of support for political prisoners, international advocacy, retaliation and neglect/abuse monitoring of prisons, skill development for post-conviction lawyers, and political and scholoarship regarding political prisoners in the United Sates. The Project also recognizes the traditional and emerging types of political prisoners including politicized prisoners and spontaneous resistance political prisoners, a class of emergering prisoners whose acts appear isolated yet are in response to consistent repressive conditions, for which the state reacts and exacts punishment in a politicized manner.
