Our Mission
- California Prison Focus works to abolish the California prison system in its present condition.
- We investigate and expose human rights abuses with the goal of ending long
term isolation, medical neglect, and all forms of discrimination.
- We are community activists, prisoners, and their families educating and
inspiring the public to demand change.
What CPF does
- We stand up strong against the cruel and torturous conditions of the California prison system, especially advocating for the immediate shut down of all SHU (Security Housing Units) cells and similar conditions of solitary confinement.
- We publish a quarterly magazine, Prison Focus, distributed free to SHU prisoners, $6 a year to other prisoners, and $20 a year to former prisoners, their family members, activists, and friends of CPF.
- We travel regularly to Pelican Bay and Corcoran state prisons to uncover and disseminate information on the current conditions prisoners must endure.
- We welcome new dedicated activists and volunteers to help us continue our mission. If you are interested in joining this important struggle, please contact us now.
