Opportunity Summary 

This role is primarily dedicated to supporting LSPC’s Prison Letter Project (PLP). LSPC receives hundreds of letters annually, sent from incarcerated individuals in prisons and jails throughout the United States. Through the PLP, we build community, stay in touch with incarcerated All of Us or None members, track issues ripe for systemic change, and invite people to join our organizing and advocacy work. Interns will analyze and interpret letters from incarcerated individuals to identify key legal or informational issues, draft clear, accurate, and unbiased responses, and research relevant laws, policies, resources, and materials to provide appropriate referrals and information.

Opportunity Training 

Interns receive orientation and training on prison mail procedures, letter writing assignments, and how to use Salesforce. Interns also receive a letter writing handbook with written instructions and references.
