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 CRIMINAL RECORD SEALING, HELP INDIVIDUALS OBTAIN COURT-ISSUED REHABILITATION CERTIFICATES FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES , 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. 473833 DECARCERATION:OJPC'S BEYOND GUILT PROJECT ADDRESSES OUR STRATEGIC GOAL TO REDUCE THE SIZE AND RACIAL DISPARITY OF THE STATE POPULATION OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE SAFELY AND SUBSTANTIALLY. LAUNCHED IN THE SPRING OF 2019, BEYOND GUILT WORKS TO FREE OVER-PUNISHED PEOPLE WHO HAVE SERVED SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF THEIR SENTENCES AND CAN DEMONSTRATE REHABILITATION AND READINESS 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 ACTS. BEYOND GUILT AIMS TO DO FOR THE OVER-PUNISHED PRISONERS WHO ADMIT GUILT WHAT INNOCENCE PROJECTS HAVE DONE FOR WRONGFULLY CONVICTED PERSONS. TO DATE, BEYOND GUILT HAS FREED MORE THAN 45 PEOPLE.WE ARE ALSO LITIGATING TWO LAWSUITS AGAINST THE OHIO PAROLE BOARD TO FORCE CHANGES THAT WOULD HELP MORE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE REHABILITATED THEMSELVES GAIN THEIR FREEDOM. 42537 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. OJPC ALSO ADVOCATES FOR STATEWIDE POLICIES THAT ELIMINATE UNFAIR TREATMENT OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE. 214730 OJPC'S OTHER WORK INCLUDES TRAINING FUTURE LEADERS; HOSTING A HANDFUL OF SUMMER INTERNS, OFFERING BOTH UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND LAW STUDENTS LEGAL EXPERIENCES. OUR MANAGING ATTORNEY SUPERVISES THE STUDENTS.OJPC ALSO WORKS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE NEED FOR CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM REFORM THROUGH VARIOUS COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS. 214730 1224828 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 10 0 1 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 1 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 DAVID ZIMMERMAN CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 DR NINA E LEWIS VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MEGAN DOOLEY TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 WANDA SPIVEY SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SISTER SALLY DUFFY GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 OFFICER LOUIS ARNOLD SR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER BECK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT COLLINS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DION CROCKETT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAN FALES TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES JOHNSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 BESS MESSERMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN NOONAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER OLMSTED TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LILLIE SHOCKLEY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN SULLIVAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELE YOUNG TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SINGLETON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THROUGH 6.30.23 40.00 X 0 0 0 GABRIEL DAVIS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 8.1.23 TO PRESENT 40.00 X 69773 0 8057 69773 0 8057 0 0 0 0 0 81596 197324 1499213 1080 1778133 45912 45912 23100 81596 60763 -37663 -37663 MISC REVENUE 900099 1527 1527 1527 1787909 0 0 9776 77830 58373 19457 811113 641672 8269 161172 13216 10837 132 2247 129464 106160 1295 22009 65318 50696 2169 12453 59225 46788 6514 5923 95000 95000 482 482 60172 4209 55816 147 48792 38546 5367 4879 81055 64033 8916 8106 114749 90652 12622 11475 18623 16691 821 1111 249 249 3903 3084 429 390 12140 9591 1335 1214 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH 50000 50000 LITIGATION EXPENSE 17562 17562 MISCELLANEOUS 13990 1319 1704 10967 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 11440 9038 1258 1144 7789 5577 695 1517 1692112 1224828 127530 339754 81685 75416 1616054 1478932 268269 669317 195346 0 20002 13170 68076 59220 12759 8856 147207 204638 459799 459365 2801121 2909694 73612 77955 476831 476190 550443 554145 X 1982409 1686232 268269 669317 2250678 2355549 2801121 2909694 95797 9074 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1919720 1348819 2195274 889443 1778133 8131389 1919720 1348819 2195274 889443 1778133 8131389 2404034 5727355 4815 6120 1203 667 45912 58717 58976 126729 70960 110635 367300 1606 1527 3133 8560539 142488 0.66900 0.67650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23052 57771 80823 1611289 1692112 234606 58652 0 0 210029 216180 226993 234606 887808 1331712 51547 47760 65288 80823 245418 52507 54045 56748 58652 221952 332928 6430 7109 16557 23052 53148 68076 59220 8856 8856 FUNDS HELD FOR OTHERS 100000 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS UNDER OPERATING LEASES 359365 459365 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 376190 FUNDS HELD FOR OTHERS 100000 476190 X 1859483 9074 62500 71574 1787909 0 1787909 1754612 62500 62500 1692112 0 1692112 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.
