Letter of intent: March 26, 2008
Bidder's conference: March 31, 2008
The Connecticut Department of Correction ("the Department") is seeking proposals from potential
contractors for the provision of Offender Access to Court services. The intent of this request is to identify non-profit or for-profit organizations or other entities with the expertise to provide legal assistance of a
civil nature to offenders confined to Department facilities. Required services include activities directed at
enabling offenders to prepare and file meaningful legal papers to challenge the conditions of their
confinement and / or sentences (this does not include challenges to criminal convictions). The direct
representation of inmates is not required except in limited situations.
