Prison Law Office
PLO provides free legal services to California state prisoners, and occasionally to California state parolees. Our assistance is generally limited to cases regarding conditions of confinement. Further, the office does not typically assist or represent prisoners in lawsuits in which money damages are the primary objective. Instead, the office focuses on cases in which a change in conditions is sought. The office attempts to resolve such cases informally, if possible, or through formal litigation. With regard to condition of confinement matters, the decision to assist with any particular case depends on the issue or problems presented, the chance of success, the amount of time and resource necessary to properly assist, the office's resources, staff availability and caseload. We are also happy to provide self-help and informational materials to prisoners, some of which are published on our website, including a habeas corpus manual, parolee rights manual and personal injury lawsuit packet, as well as material regarding administrative remedies, divorce, guard brutality, immigration, loss of personal property, plea bargains, release dates, worker's compensation and worktime credits. |
