Reforming Community Supervision
Reforming community supervision and other forms of correctional control would significantly reduce recidivism rates and provide financial resources for alternative rehabilitative methods.

Community Outreach Workshops
Know Your Rights Workshops
The media has highlighted police brutality particularly during traffic stops in a way like never before. This has caused the public to be more concerned about what is and isn’t allowed during a traffic stop. Pure Justice offers a “Know Your Rights” workshop to assist the community in addressing this concern.

State and Local Government Workshops
Pure Justice offers a workshop in helping community residents understand how state and local government is structured and how government is intended to work. This workshop does not advocate any particular partisanship nor does it endorse or encourage the selection of any political candidate.

LEGAL AWARENESS
Pure Justice works with low-income and former indigent clients of the local public defender’s office to ensure they were properly serviced by a criminal justice system that should work for ALL people regardless of socioeconomic background.

Case Review Clinic
A case review consists of the following:

• Review of prior convictions to determine if any post-conviction relief options are available.
• Expungement Petition: Assist in completing and filing expungement forms.
• Pardon Petition: Assist in completing and filing pardon petition forms.
• Connect victims to social services: refer victims and members to partnering agencies and attorneys.
