The Yale Undergraduate Prison Project (YUPP) is a student-run social justice organization that seeks to challenge the inequities of the criminal justice system through educational programs and advocacy, while learning from and supporting others who share that vision. At the heart of this work sits YUPP’s dedication to work with formerly and currently incarcerated individuals and their families in their pursuit of educational, personal, and expressive goals.
