Connecting the Dots - A handbook for paralegals assigned to police stations and prisons

'The handbook has been prepared to assist and facilitate the work of Paralegal Volunteers (paralegals) attached to legal services institutions across the country. It seeks to facilitate the work of paralegals attached to police stations and prisons in ensuring prompt and effective access to legal aid for persons in custody. It contains information that can be used for training, empowerment and capacity-building of paralegals, to strengthen their approach in addressing the issues related to providing primary legal assistance in police stations and prisons, and thus ensuring prompt and effective access to legal aid for persons in custody. It can be used both as a step-by-step guide, as well as a resource for obtaining information on their roles.'
