The West Coast Prison Justice Society operates Prisoners’ Legal Services, the only clinic in Canada that provides all prison-related legal aid (other than appeals) in its jurisdiction.
People are often in prison because of issues related to poverty, colonialism, mental health or drug use. Prisons often exacerbate these issues, exposing people to violence and harsh treatment, isolation, poor medical care, and other violations of their rights.
Prisoners’ Legal Services works to help people in federal and provincial prisons across British Columbia have their dignity and rights respected.
