| Who We Are: |
Since 1976, the Southern Center for Human Rights has defended the civil and human rights of people in the criminal justice and corrections systems of the South. A nonprofit, public interest legal project, the Center advocates for improvements in the legal representation of poor people in the criminal courts; represents those facing the death penalty at trials, on appeals and in post-conviction proceedings; brings class action challenges to cruel and inhuman conditions and practices in prisons and jails on behalf of those who are incarcerated; advocates judicial independence; educates the public about injustices in the criminal courts, abuses in prisons and jails, and the importance and value of a fair process, an independent judiciary, and constructive, non-violent and humane responses to crime; works with community groups, civil rights organizations, religious groups, mental health professionals, social workers, lawyers and others in efforts to achieve its goals; and annually provides human rights internships to over 30 students and volunteers from around the nation and the world. The Center is funded primarily by individuals, law firms and foundations. It receives no government funding. The Center's web site is www.schr.org. |
