The CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer is utilized for a wide ranging physics program at Jefferson Lab, including measurements of polarized structure funcitons and future tests of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule. To realize the entire extent of the program, polarized targets that can function inside the spectrometer without severely affecting its performance are necessary. In these proceedings, I describe a continuously polarized solid target of protons and deuterons that operated inside CLAS for a total of ten months from 1998 to 2001. The conceptual design of a frozen spin target that will more fully exploit the 4 pi acceptance of CLAS is also introduced.
