About US:
The African Prisons Project is an international non-profit organization
that works to restore dignity and hope to prisoners across Africa. APP works
holistically to change the way that criminal justice issues are addressed in
the countries in which we work and empower prisoners to drive positive change.
We work with Prison Service leaders who wish to develop services and policies
in line with our mission and welcome our support. We pursue these changes in a
two pronged approach. Firstly, by focusing on rising stars and senior
management of the prison services, providing them with the skills needed to
reform and improve prison systems. Secondly, by providing scholarships and
training to prisoners and prisons staff pursuing legal degrees or diplomas
through distance learning programmes, to support them act as educators and
legal advisers to prisoners and to then take this knowledge of the law to the
poorest communities upon release.
