The Prisoners' Rights Project (PRP) assists prisoners in the New York City jails and New York State prisons with respect to the conditions of confinement. Most of PRP's work consists of class action lawsuits designed to stop unlawful practices and improve conditions with respect to matters such as medical and mental health care, staff violence, dangerous or unsanitary physical conditions, and denial of education to young people. PRP generally does not represent individual prisoners in lawsuits seeking damages or other relief affecting only themselves. However, PRP does try to help prisoners individually by contacting prison and jail officials about problems involving access to medical care, threats to safety, and access to essential programs and services, among others. PRP also provides prisoners with informational materials on their legal rights, including how to bring their own lawsuits in federal and state courts.

HARP will provide reintegration services and enhance supervision to high-risk parolees ages 17-35 released from Department of Correctional Services' facilities who were either convicted of a violent felony offense or are repeat felons. The HARP project will serve 100-150 parolees annually who reside within the 23rd, 25th, 28th, and 32nd precincts of Manhattan. Approximately 60 days prior to release, eligible male inmates will be transferred to Sing Sing Correctional Facility, while female inmates will be transferred to a comparable downstate location convenient to Harlem. Prior to release from custody, HARP case managers, in partnership with the assigned parole team, will assess program participants and develop individualized reentry plans. On the day of release, HARP participants will appear before the Harlem Reentry Court to formally adopt the reentry plans. Participants will be required to remain in the program for at least 1 year, during which time they will receive comprehensive services and be closely monitored for compliance with their court orders. An array of sanctions and incentives will be used to respond to participants' infractions and achievements.
