Harsh Justice inmates are nonviolent victims of our inhumane, racially-biased, various versions of so-called justice.

 

Many have already served decades and will ultimately die in prison for nonviolent petty crimes resulting from poverty and addiction.

​

Some inmates are innocent but were afraid to go to trial where the deck is often stacked against them and the sentences are tripled on the average.

​

Most inmates first heard of 3 strikes at their sentencing hearing.

​

Most have a good chance now for freedom if they could receive capable legal representation for the first time ever.

​

To make make a secure, direct

and follow the instructions located there. Your selected inmate receives 100% of your direct donation.

​

Harsh Justice is pleased to announce that 12 of our inmates have gained their freedom since 2016, 11 were serving life without parole sentences.
