"Providing effective legal services efficiently and with excellence."

NCPLS needs to hear from North Carolina prisoners about serious problems inside the prisons and jails of this state. Our attorneys are not allowed inside except as part of a prearranged tour, so there are many things we can learn about only from our clients.

Although we cannot provide representation to every prisoner who writes to us, we respond to every inquiry we receive, and we try to keep track of recurring complaints so we can identify and concentrate on areas of broad concern.
