PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS FACE UNPRECEDENTED, LIFELONG BARRIERS TO OBTAINING AND RETAINING GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT, ACCESSING EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS, AND FINDING STABLE HOUSING. OJPC'S SECOND CHANCE COMMUNITY LEGAL CLINICS PROVIDE EXPERT 1-ON-1 LEGAL SUPPORT TO PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS. THROUGH THE LEGAL CLINICS AND OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, WE SCREEN PEOPLE FOR RECORD CRIMINAL RECORD SEALING, HAVE CQE'S GRANTED, PROVIDE REPRESENTATION TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS; RESOLVE COURT FINES, FEES, AND COSTS; AND HELP OHIOANS IN REMOVING OTHER LEGAL BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT, LICENSING, HOUSING, OR CIVIC PARTICIPATION.DURING THE PANDEMIC, OJPC QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY TRANSFORMED OUR SECOND CHANCE OUTREACH LEGAL CLINICS WHICH ARE TRADITIONALLY HELP IN-PERSON IN HIGH-NEED NEIGHBORHOOD INTO VIRTUAL CLINICS. WE NOT ONLY FOUND WAYS TO SERVE OUR CLIENTS THROUGH A MIXTURE OF INTERNET, PHONE, AND OCCASIONAL IN-PERSON INTERACTION, WE WERE ABLE TO VASTLY EXPAND SERVICES WITH PARTNERS IN CINCINNATI, DAYTON, COLUMBUS, AND MANSFIELD. AS A RESULT, SECOND CHANCE SERVICES CAN CONTINUE VIRTUALLY AND, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER (THANKS TO VIRTUAL TECHNOLOGY) ALL OVER THE STATE. IN 2020, THE CLINICS HELPED MORE THAN 300 PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS. 297927 DECARCERATION - OJPC'S BEYOND GUILT PROJECT ADDRESSES OUR STRATEGIC GOAL TO SAFELY AND SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE SIZE AND RACIAL DISPARITY OF THE STATE POPULATION OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE. LAUNCHED IN THE SPRING 2019, BEYOND GUILT SERVES INCARCERATED PEOPLE WHO RECEIVED UNFAIRLY LONG PRISON SENTENCES, ADMIT GUILT, SERVED SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF THEIR SENTENCES, CAN DEMONSTRATE REHABILITATION, AND ARE READY TO REJOIN SOCIETY. BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING REHABILITATION AND REDEMPTION, INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED A VIOLENT CRIME OR OTHER SERIOUS OFFENSE, WE BELIEVE (TO PARAPHRASE SISTER HELEN PREJEAN AND BRYAN STEVENSON) THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE FOREVER-DEFINED BY THEIR WORST MISTAKES. BEYOND GUILT AIMS TO DO FOR THE OVER-PUNISHED PRISONERS WHO ADMIT GUILT WHAT INNOCENCE PROJECTS HAVE DONE FOR WRONGFULLY CONVICTED PERSONS. TO DATE, OJPC HAS ASSISTED 37 PEOPLE TO BE RELEASED FROM PRISON. 104056 HUMAN RIGHTS IN PRISON - THROUGH ITS IMPACT LITIGATION AND ADVOCACY, OJPC'S THIRD STRATEGIC GOAL IS TO ELIMINATE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS OF CONFINEMENT FOR THOSE LIVING IN OHIO PRISONS. IN 1982, THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 17,000 PEOPLE INCARCERATED IN OHIO PRISONS, BUT THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 45,000 TODAY (DOWN FROM APPROXIMATELY 50,000 AT THE BEGINNING OF 2020). AS THE PRISON POPULATION HAS RAPIDLY GROWN OVER THE YEARS, AND THE STATE HAS STRUGGLED TO PAY THE COSTS OF INCARCERATING SO MANY PEOPLE, PRISON CONDITIONS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY DETERIORATED. INCARCERATED PEOPLE FACE AN ENORMOUS RANGE OF LEGAL AND HEALTH ISSUES LIKELY TO RESULT IN SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH. 119553 OJPC'S OTHER WORK INCLUDES OUR CONSTITUTIONAL LITIGATION CLINIC, WHICH PROVIDES HANDS-ON LEGAL EDUCATION FOR 3RD YEAR LAW SCHOOL STUDENTS AT NKU'S CHASE COLLEGE OF LAW. THE STUDENTS ARE OVERSEEN BY OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND THEY GAIN EXPERIENCE LITIGATING CIVIL RIGHTS CASES. OJPC ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH, WITH A STAFF MEMBER SPEAKING TO SCHOOL OR CIVIC GROUPS TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT ISSUES IN THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, OJPC WILL TAKE ON EXCEPTIONAL LITIGATION PROJECTS THAT ADDRESS AN IMPORTANT CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ISSUE BUT DOES NOT NEATLY FIT INTO OUR EXISTING WORK. FOR EXAMPLE, DURING 2020 OJPC SOUGHT TO RECOVER PAYMENTS MADE TO PRISONERS PURSUANT TO THE CARES ACT, WHICH WERE TAKEN FROM PRISONER ACCOUNTS TO COVER PRISONER COURT COSTS. AND DURING THE PANDEMIC, OJPC BECAME INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY SAFETY AND POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY. WORKING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WE PRESENTED RECOMMENDATIONS TO GREATER CINCINNATI REGARDING POLICING DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND A PARALLEL MOTION WAS PASSED BY CINCINNATI CITY COUNCIL. OJPC WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND POLICYMAKERS IN GREATER CINCINNATI AND STATEWIDE TO ENSURE POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY, COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP IN SYSTEMS OF PUBLIC SAFETY, AND BETTER POLICIES AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVELS. 0 POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY - OJPC CONDUCTS POLICY RESEARCH, POLICY DEVELOPMENT, AND ADVOCACY, INCLUDING A LIMITED AMOUNT OF LOBBYING, IN SERVICE OF THREE OVERARCHING OBJECTIVES: SAFELY AND SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCING THE SIZE AND RACIAL DISPARITY OF THE STATE PRISION POPULATION; EXPANDING THE FREEDOM OF PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES; AND PROTECTING THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE. 119553 1023339 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 15 0 1 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 OH X THE ORGANIZATION 5134211108 215 EAST 9TH STREET SUITE 601 CINCINNATI OH 45202 X BETH SILVERS CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 REV SHARON DITTMAR VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAN FALES TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DR NINA E LEWIS SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 OFFICER LOUIS ARNOLD SR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS BEARD TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 KERRIE CLARK TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 SISTER SALLY DUFFY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAITLIN FELVUS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM METZGER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE PHILLIPS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 EILEEN COOPER REED TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 WANDA SPIVEY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOE TOMAIN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELE YOUNG TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID ZIMMERMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SINGLETON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 27000 42726 1279093 1348819 CONSULTING INCOME 541100 20918 20918 20918 6120 6120 6826 2956 3870 3870 3870 126729 0 126729 126729 1506456 20918 0 136719 893540 671983 155618 65939 15258 12168 1935 1155 91320 72825 11580 6915 66316 49979 11557 4780 33036 25425 5398 2213 150 150 36674 32400 683 3591 34576 18590 3798 12188 45137 33029 6269 5839 78494 60410 12824 5260 8439 7317 1122 260 260 3111 2394 509 208 7961 6126 1302 533 LITIGATION EXPENSE 11356 11356 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 8902 6851 1455 596 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 6029 4669 838 522 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 2555 2048 360 147 7173 5769 967 437 1350287 1023339 216625 110323 65435 48452 1024282 1534422 619958 442986 21591 13332 21840 25099 51018 46901 4282 4117 4934 60831 0 10000 1762322 2139239 100739 73649 6917 28211 179227 0 10000 107656 291087 X 767732 1311152 886934 537000 1654666 1848152 1762322 2139239 156169 7317 30000 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 618438 1344537 856105 1919720 1348819 6087619 618438 1344537 856105 1919720 1348819 6087619 1372132 4715487 303 441 1176 4815 6120 12855 58976 126729 185705 6286179 167983 0.75010 0.72510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6430 45117 51547 1298740 1350287 210029 52507 0 0 150675 171237 155198 210029 687139 1030709 16431 57122 30076 51547 155176 37669 42809 38800 52507 171785 257678 276 755 6430 7461 51018 46901 4117 4117 FUNDS HELD FOR OTHERS 10000 10000 X 1638623 7317 125000 132317 1506306 150 150 1506456 1475137 125000 125000 1350137 150 150 1350287 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN MADE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
