Have you been treated unfairly by the prison or police systems in Alberta?

Reach out to Prison & Police Law.

Prison & Police Law is located on Treaty 7 territory, the traditional, ancestral, present, and future territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika Nations. This land also belongs to the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Iyarhe Nakoda Nation, and it is home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. Prison & Police Law affirms Article 26(1) of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states: “Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired. “

Prison & Police Law acknowledges Truth and Reconciliation Call to Action #30 regarding the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in custody and commits to advocacy on behalf of those affected by the colonial justice and policing systems.

Prison & Police Law is run by Amy Matychuk, a lawyer in Alberta whose goal is to hold the prison and police systems accountable for abuses of power.

If you or someone you love has been mistreated, Amy wants to hear from you.
