The Human Rights Coalition is a group of predominately prisoners' families, ex-prisoners and some supporters.  Our ultimate goal is to abolish prisons.  The prison system is based on a foundation of exploitation, punishment and corruption.  Most of the people in prisons are poor, brown, urban, functionally illiterate, unemployed or under-employed before they were locked down, and are there for non-violent crimes.  The prison system reflects all the other social inequalities in our system, and it does not work in its current incarnation.
