Hosted by Yale Undergraduate Prison Project
The Yale Undergraduate Prison Project (YUPP) is a student-run social justice organization that seeks to challenge the inequities of the criminal justice system through educational programs and advocacy, while learning from and supporting others who share that vision.
At the heart of this work sits our dedication to work with formerly and currently incarcerated individuals and their families in their pursuit of educational, personal, and expressive goals. In the political arena, we contribute to social justice campaigns led by education activists and organizations in Connecticut and beyond, always taking deliberate care to center the voices and experiences of those most affected. On campus, we promote dialogue around issues connected to mass incarceration with the hopes of engaging Yale community members in this work. We also support the development of a formal prison education program at Yale through our work with the Yale Prison Education Initiative.
