In 2023, SCP's Immigrant Post-Conviction Relief program received applications from approximately 30 individuals seeking assistance, 10 of whom were matched with pro bono attorneys and deportation was prevented in 4 cases. We conducted 3 pro bono lawyer training sessions and supported approximately 15 pro bono lawyers with existing cases. Through SCP's work on this program, over $1.2 million in free legal services have been generated for immigrants facing deportation due to old criminal convictions in Washington. 432226 432226 0 Re-Entry and Mentoring Program: The Reentry and Mentoring Program seeks to help each client heal and prosper by assisting in the creation of individualized reentry plans that include referrals to housing, employment, counseling, addiction treatment, training / education, and pro bono legal support. The program begins when the case is being prepared by pro bono lawyers to see early release from prison and continues through release, ensuring each person has a solid support system throughout their transition back into the community. We provide individualized support upon reentry, connect clients with other organizations for targeted support needs and conduct twice monthly mentoring sessions that offer resources and training for participants. In 2023, we supported over 50 individuals in pre-release reentry planning, provided continuing post-release reentry support for over 85 individuals, and provided direct financial assistance to over 30 individuals. 517705 517705 0 Early Release from Prison Program: Our early release program matches individuals who are good candidates for early release from prison through either the clemency, prosecutor-initiated resentencing or the juvenile parole board processes. Legal counsel is not appointed by the government to represent individuals who cannot afford a lawyer through these processes, so having an advocate is essential for getting meaningful review and relief. In 2023, we screened approximately 300 individuals seeking a pro bono attorney and matched 25 incarcerated individuals with pro bono attorneys to go through clemency, prosecutor-initiated resentencing, or the juvenile parole board process. Additionally, we supported approximately 75 pro bono attorneys with active cases. By the end of 2023, 92 people with life or long sentences were released from prison with assistance from a SCP volunteer lawyer since SCP's founding in 2016. The total estimated amount of free direct legal services generated by SCP's early release pro bono lawyer program since its founding in 2016 is $9 million. 0 0 0 1057904 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 0 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 WA X Seattle Clemency Project 2066821114 20415 72nd Avenue South Suite 1-415 Kent WA 98032 Anthony Powers Re-Entry Director 40 0 X 102125 0 102125 Jeffrey Ellis Post Conviction Attorney 40 0 X 102000 0 102000 Jennifer Smith Executive Director and Member of the Board 40 0 X 90000 0 90000 Vidal Vincent Post-Conviction Paralegal 40 0 X 81000 0 81000 Jordan Casey Re-Entry and Sentencing Lead 40 0 X 71000 0 71000 Marcus Price Re-Entry Navigator 40 0 X 71000 0 71000 Angela Powers Operations / HR Manager 40 0 X 71000 0 71000 Sandra Andrews Development Director 40 0 X 66000 0 66000 Brooke Kaufman Communications Specialist 40 0 X 61000 0 61000 Karlton Daniel Re-Entry Mentoring Director 40 0 X 49500 0 49500 Jeanne Ballot Development Director 20 0 X 42000 0 42000 Elinor Jones-Toutant Legal Assistant 20 0 X 33542 0 33542 Willa Osborn Legal Director 20 0 X 30533 0 30533 KaitlynR Laibe Research and Writing Specialist 20 0 X 23333 0 23333 Louise Bush Immigration Defence Manager 20 0 X 22667 0 22667 Lana Shamdeen Member of the Board 0 0 X 0 0 0 Janet Jones Preston Member of the Board 0 0 X 0 0 0 Richard Monroe Member of the Board 0 0 X 0 0 0 Leticia Walker Member of the Board 0 0 X 0 0 0 Tom Kelly Member of the Board 0 0 X 0 0 0 Kenny Wyatt Member of the Board 0 0 X 0 0 0 Paul Heer Board President 0 0 X 0 0 0 Neeka Hodale Board Treasurer 0 0 X 0 0 0 Rayshaun Williams Board Secretary 0 0 X 0 0 0 Joshua Howard Board Vice President 0 0 X 0 0 0 916700 0 916700 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 204189 0 985693 179264 0 1369146 0 11 0 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 204189 0 1369157 0 11 0 0 0 44770 44770 192000 192000 724700 669759 54941 90979 90979 0 13247 13247 7441 7441 77700 77700 100183 73675 26508 17865 17865 117008 59183 57825 8565 8565 13143 13143 4135 4135 Professional Dues 5000 0 5000 0 Staff Events 681 0 681 0 Postage 431 0 431 0 Business License 180 0 180 0 72 0 72 0 1418100 1057904 302371 57825 228073 274754 120026 70037 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 348099 344791 19239 42629 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19239 42629 X 328860 302162 0 0 328860 302162 348099 344791 -48943 0 0 0 22245 0 X 0 0 1 1 X 23449 548501 507604 990845 1369146 3439545 23449 548501 507604 990845 1369146 3439545 30500 0 0 0 30500 30500 0 0 0 0 30500 3409045 23449 548501 507604 990845 1369146 3439545 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Fall Gala 224189 0 224189 0 0 20707 1312 2500 14810 0 0 224189 0 224189 0 0 20707 1312 2500 14810 39329 184860 1 Rental assistance to newly released individuals 13 23493 0 Currently unhoused Clothing and communication equipment (cell phone or computer) to assist with job search 27 21277 0 Need Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Grant recipients are current clients of Seattle Clemency Project.
