African Prisons Project is a charity based in London, United Kingdom working on justice & legal aid, human rights, education.

African Prisons Project is a registered charity in England and Wales, based in London, that works to improve access to justice in prisons in East Africa, particularly Kenya and Uganda. It provides legal education, training and legal services to prisoners, prison staff and the judiciary, and works to improve prison conditions through libraries, health awareness and life-skills programmes. Its Justice Changemaker Programme trains prisoners and prison staff as paralegals and advocates who offer free legal advice within prisons, and it also runs professional secondment and postgraduate study opportunities for senior prison personnel. The organisation works with individuals and institutions across the justice system, including legislators, police, prosecutors, courts and government, to promote penal reform and a human rights culture across prison communities.
