Currently none. We have in the past included organizations from Kansas on this page, but no organizatons have responded to our mailing in the last 12 months, likely because of COVID. In the mean time, we suggest accessing the online version of the Jailhouse Lawyers Manual and mailing the relevant chapters to your incarcerated loved one.

Please note it may take at least 8 weeks to deliver the Handbook due to a shortage of staff and resources. It is usually much faster to download the Handbook from this site and print it yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: This organization does not have the resources to give legal advice or representation, and will not respond to mail regarding these issues. Please send only orders or comments about the JLH itself.
