Protecting the Rights of the Incarcerated
Advocating against inhumane treatment and abuse behind bars
Prison sentences are meant to remove freedom, not dignity. Yet far too often, incarcerated individuals are subjected to cruel treatment, sexual violence, and systemic abuse that violates their most basic human rights. At Stochaj Law, we fight for justice when prisons and jails fail to protect the people in their custody.
Attorney Jeremy Stochaj understands the courage it takes to speak out against abuse behind bars. He provides strong, unwavering legal advocacy to hold institutions accountable and ensure survivors are heard.
Standing Up Against Sexual Abuse in Prison
Sexual abuse is one of the most pervasive and devastating forms of violence in correctional facilities. Despite federal protections like the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), inmates remain vulnerable to harassment, assault, and coercion by both staff and fellow inmates.
We handle cases involving:
- Sexual assault and rape
- Staff misconduct or coercion
- Harassment and intimidation related to sexual violence
- Institutional failures to prevent, investigate, or respond to abuse
Jeremy Stochaj is committed to exposing these injustices and ensuring survivors receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
Fighting Physical and Psychological Abuse
In addition to sexual abuse, prisoners frequently endure physical brutality and psychological torment that crosses the line into illegality. Whether its excessive excessive force, prolonged solitary confinement, or targeted retaliation, these practices inflict lasting harm and violate constitutional protections under the Eighth Amendment.
Our work includes challenging:
- Beatings, excessive restraints, and unnecessary use of force
- Retaliation against prisoners who report abuse
- Degrading or inhumane conditions designed to cause suffering
Through meticulous investigation and litigation, Jeremy Stochaj fights to shine a light on these abuses and force accountability where it is long overdue.
Jeremy Stochaj's Approach
- Relentless investigation: Gathering testimony, reviewing surveillance, and uncovering institutional misconduct.
- Strategic litigation: Using civil rights laws and constitutional protections to demand justice.
- Compassionate advocacy: Supporting survivors with dignity, care, and respect throughout the legal process.
Jeremy's reputation is built on tackling complex, high-stakes civil rights cases—including those where institutions hoped their wrongdoing would remain hidden. His commitment ensures that survivors of prison abuse have an advocate who refuses to back down.
