Working closely with its UK sister organization, Reprieve US represents persons accused of terrorism held in Guantanamo Bay; investigates extra judicial killings, detentions, and disappearances around the world; and assists prisoners in the US facing the death penalty. Additionally, Reprieve US operates a number of public education projects meant to bring attention to governments’ human rights abuses.

The Stop Lethal Injection Project at the Lethal Injection Information Center (a Reprieve initiative) engages in investigation, corporate social responsibility advocacy, strategic litigation, and public education centered on exposing the abuses of lethal injection and the myths surrounding humane execution.
