THE ATLAS ENABLES ACTIVISTS TO ADVOCATE FOR INDIVIDUAL POLITICAL PRISONERS BASED ON ETHNICITY, GENDER, RELIGION OR FORM OF ACTIVISM. IRAN PRISON ATLAS INTERACTIVE TOOLS ALLOW USERS TO IDENTIFY PATTERNS OF ABUSE BY IRANIAN JUDGES, MISTREATMENT AT VARIOUS DETENTION CENTERS, AND CONVICTION TRENDS BASED ON RACE, RELIGION, GENDER, ACTIVITY, AND OTHER CLASSIFICATIONS.

THE ATLAS ENABLES USERS NOT ONLY TO ZOOM IN AND SEE THE STORY OF ONE PERSON, BUT ALSO TO ZOOM OUT AND SEE PATTERNS AND TRENDS OF ABUSE AMONG IRANIAN PRISONS AND JUDGES. THE ATLAS PAIRS UNIQUE STORIES WITH THE BIG PICTURE, AND IS A VALUABLE TOOL FOR ANYONE WORKING FOR JUDICIAL AND PRISON REFORM AND THE RELEASE OF ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS. A REAL-TIME INTERACTIVE MAP SHOWS THE DISTRIBUTION AND THE POPULATION OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN EACH PRISON. USERS CAN MONITOR TRENDS OR DRILL INTO THE DATA BY FOCUSING, FOR EXAMPLE, ONLY ON LOCKUPS ADMINISTERED BY MINISTRY OF INTELLIGENCE. A DEMOGRAPHIC MATRIX HELPS USERS SORT CURRENT POLITICAL PRISONERS BASED ON ETHNICITY, GENDER, CHARGES, AND OTHER CLASSIFICATIONS. FINALLY, IRAN PRISON ATLAS RANKS JUDGES BASED ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THE HIGHEST AVERAGE PRISON TERMS AGAINST CURRENT POLITICAL PRISONERS, HIGHEST TOTAL VERDICTS AGAINST POLITICAL PRISONERS, OR HIGHEST NUMBER OF PROCEDURAL VIOLATIONS AGAINST POLITICAL PRISONERS. 1026940 IRANCUBATOR, A GLOBAL INITIATIVE PROJECT FOR MAKING APPROXIMATELY A DOZEN MOBILE APPS THAT PROMOTE SOCIAL GOOD IN IRAN.
