European Prison Litigation Network

“EPLN operates at the European level to remove barriers to prisoners’ access to justice and to enhance effective judicial responses to the structural problems affecting prison systems across Europe. Its activities combine coordinated strategic litigation with advocacy aimed at advancing human rights standards, as well as research projects designed to generate robust, evidence-based knowledge in support of civil society organisations’ work. EPLN's thematic priorities of action are the defense of prisoners’ access to justice, improving access to healthcare, combatting ill-treatment and enhancing access to sentence adjustments.”
