Everyday, millions of people in the United States are tortured, dehumanized, abused, maimed, and killed in the shadows of our prisons. The Remedy Project is a youth and impacted-led movement with a simple vision: every human being, no matter what crime they may or may not have committed, deserves basic humanity, dignity, and respect, for the sake of their families, our communities, and our world. By challenging, exposing, and disrupting abuse within the U.S. prison system, we at the Remedy Project are the voices of the incarcerated, the watchdogs of the prison system, and the healers of the nation.
The administrative remedy process is the only official avenue in prison for an incarcerated person to raise an issue and seek relief about their conditions. We train advocates on the outside to write remedies on behalf of our members on the inside.
We use storytelling, art, and targeted actions to put further pressure on prisons to address the needs of our members and to raise the alarm to the public about the crisis of prison conditions.
We are building a network of students, currently and formerly incarcerated people, and supporters to stand up against the ongoing crisis of torture and inhumanity in the US prison system.
The Remedy Project assists people detained within the Federal Bureau of Prisons with directly addressing issues pertaining to the conditions of their confinement through the administrative remedy process.
