JLS is committed to fostering solidarity among prisoners, empowering them to organize and resist from within. Our work also serves as a vital bridge, connecting those on the inside with allies and advocates on the outside, strengthening collective action for justice.

Our goal is to strengthen our networks, cultivate meaningful relationships, and uphold the fight for justice for generations to come.
