Network On Women In Prison

Our Mission

LSPC organizes communities impacted by the criminal justice system and advocates to release incarcerated people, to restore human and civil rights and to reunify families and communities. We build public awareness of structural racism in policing, the courts and prison system and we advance racial and gender justice in all our work.

Our strategies include legal support, trainings, advocacy, public education, grassroots mobilization and developing community partnerships.

We Believe

We believe in fighting racism and economic injustice as a means to ending mass incarceration.

We believe in the human dignity of people in prison and recognize that they come from and are part of our communities.

We believe in the right and responsibility of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people to speak and be heard in our own voices, transform our lives and communities, and fully participate in all aspects of society.

We believe in public safety, and that it is achieved when all people have voice, communities thrive and our society is just.

We believe in the equality of all people, regardless of race, sex, gender, sexual identity, national origin, religion, physical or mental ability, and age.

We believe in and fight for the leadership of people most impacted by the prison industry.

We believe in maintaining our core principles in our work and relationships.

We believe in living the change we want to see in the world.
