Clean Water Action and Women Who Never Give Up need your input! As part of our Safe Water, Safe Lives campaign, we are gathering feedback and insights to the New Jersey Bill of Rights for Incarcerated People in order to strengthen this document and ensure it reflects the priorities and expertise of organizations, advocates, and legislators working on these issues.

New Jersey’s prisons are not just sites of confinement—they are sites of environmental neglect and compounded harm. Incarcerated people are being denied access to clean water, breathable air, and basic health protections.

Please review the Declaration of Rights here and use this form to share your comments. Your input is vital as we build this collective effort!

A stakeholder meeting will be scheduled soon after to discuss the feedback and next steps.
