A. Legal Services
1. Organizations That Specifically Serve Prisoners
(a) Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York (“PLS”)
If you are a prisoner at a New York State correctional facility in need of legal assistance, you should
first contact PLS. PLS provides legal services, free of charge, to prisoners of New York State prisons
who cannot afford legal representation. PLS will only handle cases that other attorneys and legal
services are unlikely to handle. For example, PLS does not handle criminal trials or direct criminal
appeals because these are normally handled by private attorneys or legal service organizations.
However, PLS will provide assistance to prisoners for other matters.
If you qualify for PLS legal assistance, you should contact the PLS office serving your institution
(see below). Because of budget cuts, PLS has in the past been forced to stop services temporarily. Check
with the PLS serving your institution for more information. Application forms for PLS assistance
should be available in the prison law library. The offices are listed below:

2. Organizations That Serve Specific Regional and Cultural Interest Groups
These groups are in no way affiliated with consulates and receive no rights or privileges under the
Vienna Convention. They also tend not to represent individual criminal defendants. They may be
interested in your case if you have a claim that you are being discriminated against because of your ethnic
or cultural background. In addition, most of these organizations will probably provide you with a referral.
If you are experiencing difficulties of a religious nature (for example, if you cannot find a clergyperson
of your faith or are not being allowed to practice your religion), you should also consult the resources listed
in Chapter 27 of the JLM, “Religious Freedom in Prison.”

4. Other Legal Services Organizations
Below is a list of free legal service organizations in New York City and State. These groups do not
necessarily provide legal services to prisoners. But, if you are a prisoner at a city or county jail in either
New York City or New York State, and you do not have access to any of the organizations listed above,
you should contact a general legal service organization in the city or county where you are incarcerated.
However, be aware that law or the people funding them might prevent them from helping prisoners.
If you are a prisoner at a state institution and seek legal assistance in a criminal trial or direct
criminal appeal, you should contact a legal service organization in the city or county where you are
incarcerated. Many counties in New York State have a public defender’s office and a county bar
association program designed to assist you by providing free legal counsel. These organizations are not
listed below. To find the address for your county’s public defender’s office and bar association program,
ask your librarian or consult a telephone book for your county.

B. Social Services
The following is a list of social service agencies and prisoners’ rights projects in New York City and
New York State. Most do not provide legal services, although many refer clients to legal services. Some
of these organizations provide counseling, referral, and support services specifically for prisoners and
ex-offenders. Others provide services to members of the general public. Offenders and ex-offenders
should contact any of the listed agencies with their problems.
A short description of the services provided follows most addresses. In some of the counties in New
York State, no agencies are listed. This does not necessarily mean that no social service agencies exist
in these counties. If there are no agencies listed for your county, you should consult your telephone book
for a Department of Social Services office under either the name of the county or New York State; you
should also consult the listings for neighboring counties.
