The site is now a project of the New Jersey Association on Correction , where you can find a new website full of projects, opportunities and resources for prisoners transitioning back into prinson. www.njsucess.org
More Volunteer Opportunities
The Prisoners Self Help Legal Clinic The PSHLC is a cooperative, mostly volunteer, project of former prisoner paralegals, pro bono attorneys and law students and civil rights advocates who assist prisoners with pro se litigation (lawsuits in which they represent themselves) and share information about the law and its limits. The PSHLC celebrated its tenth anniversary in September 2002. The work on NJSuccess, although it is a new direction for us, is based on our commitment to self-sufficiency and peer support among those who have been prisoners. Contact admin@pshlc.org.
The Prisoners and Their Families Project The Prisoners and their Families Project is designed to develop a coordinated, collaborative approach to services for prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families in the Newark, New Jersey area. The project is shared by the Department of Social Work at Rutgers University - Newark and the Department of Sociology at Bloomfield College. Contact NewarkSuccess@pshlc.org
