ACLU of Texas
In June 2001, the ACLU of Texas organized the Prison & Jail Accountability Project (PJAP) to fill the enormous void left upon the conclusion of the 30-year-old Ruiz class action lawsuit on behalf of Texas prisoners.
PJAP monitors prison and jail conditions and fights to open the prison system to public scrutiny. The ACLU of Texas accepts cases with significant civil liberties issues where participation by the ACLU of Texas will benefit a large class of people, or will lead to a change in the law concerning the issue. Very few cases are accepted for direct litigation
