Reprieve is a group of international charities dedicated to assisting in the provision of effective legal representation and humanitarian assistance to impoverished people facing the death penalty at the hands of the state; to producing and publishing information about the use of the death penalty and to raising awareness more generally concerning human rights.

Reprieve (US) is the United States component of the Reprieve group. To provide direct services to people facing the death penalty we have established the only United States based volunteer program for foreign lawyers, students, and others to work at death penalty defense offices throughout the deep south and in other states with critically underfunded capital defense systems. Reprieve strives to create national and international collaborations with all interested parties, from a variety of cultural standpoints, religious values, countries of origin, and political ideologies. In addition to providing direct services to those facing the death penalty, Reprieve (US) is focused on developing a richer cultural understanding on the place of the death penalty in our community and the treatment of prisoners on death row.
