Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York v. Martuscello

The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) filed a lawsuit against the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) for restricting incarcerated people’s first amendment rights to access courts and communicate with legal counsel, amid strikes led by correction officers across the state. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York, seeks the restoration of incarcerated people’s rights to communications with their attorneys and access to courts.
