Nobody warrants access to legal education more than someone who has been directly impacted by legal processes and racialized legal outcomes. Yet, despite the fact that law libraries are prevalent in most prisons across America, there had never been an ABA-accredited law degree offered behind bars in the United States until the Prison to Law Pipeline.
In August 2022, this Pipeline welcomed the country's first incarcerated law students:

The application process is underway with our partners at Mitchell Hamline Law School, who have clearance from the American Bar Association for two additional incarcerated JDs to start law school Fall 2024, 2025 and 2026.
We also have several formerly incarcerated scholars studying for the LSAT examination.
Who Are the Next Juris Doctorate Students?
"If there's something you can do,
even one thing, to ensure that humanity exists behind bars...do it."
— The late Albert Woodfox
1. We believe there is nobody better equipped to help heal the criminal legal system than legal practitioners who understand its flaws;
2. We have been so energized by the commitment from attorneys across the country who want to get involved and this is a powerful way to just that.
Why We Are Calling on Attorneys for Tuition
3. Tuition contributions directly from attorneys are PROOF to our scholars and to the world that incarcerated JDs are not only desired but also needed in the legal field.
HELL YES!
Can I Donate if I'm Not an Attorney?
