Mission

LSPC organizes communities impacted by the criminal justice system and advocates to release incarcerated people, to restore human and civil rights, and to reunify families and communities. We build public awareness of structural racism in policing, the courts, and the prison system, and we advance racial and gender justice in all our work.

In California, one in three of our residents-our friends, neighbors, and family members-has a criminal history. Even in the toughest circumstances, people have the potential to learn, grow, and recreate themselves.

Help Build Strong, Safe Communities, One Returning Individual At a Time

Legal Services for Prisoners with Children (LSPC) is asking for individual donations to cover program costs for their Elder Freeman Policy Fellowship. The Fellowship is an intensive 12-month program for formerly incarcerated individuals, who are returning to their community, that teaches them grassroots organizing, legislative and administrative advocacy, and other strategies to run local and state campaigns with the important goal of elevating the leadership of formerly incarcerated people in criminal justice reform.  

    •$225,000 sponsors (3) full-time Fellows through 2025. 

LSPC Executive Director Paul Briley, a 2019 Fellow, describes the program as a powerful vehicle for helping people who are coming home from jail and prison return to their communities as an asset and not a liability.
