Tulane Law School's Women’s Prison Project is a collaboration between Tulane Law School’s Criminal Justice and Domestic Violence Clinics. Domestic violence survivors interact with the criminal legal system not only as victims, but also as defendants. Through this project, clinic students explore connections between incarceration and domestic violence and advocate for greater responsiveness to this problem throughout the criminal legal system. The project’s work includes: individual representation from pre-trial to post-conviction, parole, and clemency proceedings, training and education for the justice system, policy work to improve legal protections for victims who are defendants in the criminal justice system, and much more. The United States Department of Justice estimates that sixty-percent of incarcerated women are abuse survivors, and over a third were abused by an intimate partner. Through their services, Tulane Law School's Women's Prison Project seeks to reduce these statistics by connecting local attorneys with the victims around them.
