Promise of Justice Initiative (Louisiana)

The Promise of Justice Initiative in New Orleans fights for the dignity, freedom, and autonomy of people targeted and touched by the criminal legal system through criminal and civil litigation, organizing, and direct support. Its Louisiana projects include litigation over forced field labor on the 'Farm Line' at Angola (Louisiana State Penitentiary), a lawsuit over people held past their release dates, and challenges to non-unanimous 'Jim Crow jury' convictions.
