This manual is primarily for people who are in Immigration detention in Massachusetts. The Political Asylum/Immigration Representation Project (PAIR) prepared this manual with insights from 

• the Boston College Immigration and Asylum Project; 
• the Center for Immigrants Rights in New York; 
• the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project; 
• the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild; Proyecto Libertad; and 
• the Refugee Immigration Ministry. 

PAIR also thanks the Boston Bar Foundation, the Gardiner Howland Shaw Foundation, the Lenny Zakim Fund, the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, the Massachusetts Bar Foundation, and Presbyterian Church USA for their support of our detention work. These organizations are not part of the government.
