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, 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 TRADITIONALLY TAKE PLACE IN-PERSON 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 OUR 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 2021, THE CLINICS HELPED MORE THAN 300 PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS. 327975 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 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. 87040 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. MOST RECENTLY, OJPC OFFERED TESTIMONY ON HB 136 TO THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. GOV. DEWINE SIGNED THIS BILL INTO LAW IN JANUARY 2021. THE BILL ENDS THE PRACTICE OF EXECUTION FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS. 160775 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: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.POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACYOJPC 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 PRISON POPULATION, EXPANDING THE FREEDOM OF PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES; AND PROTECTING THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE. 160775 1091620 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 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 18 0 1 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 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 BRETT BONFIELD TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAITLIN FELVUS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS BEARD TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAN FALES TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID ZIMMERMAN VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DR NINA E LEWIS SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DR ZARIA DAVIS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES JOHNSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MEGAN DOOLEY TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELE YOUNG TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 OFFICER LOUIS ARNOLD SR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK REAGAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER BECK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER OLMSTED TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 REV SHARON DITTMAR CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT COLLINS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SISTER SALLY DUFFY GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 WANDA SPIVEY 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 570443 1624831 2195274 CONSULTING INCOME 541100 55005 55005 55005 1203 1203 70960 19492 51468 51468 2302950 55005 0 52671 889914 674181 145185 70548 19052 17355 260 1437 83450 76020 1137 6293 71589 48999 17389 5201 33626 25892 4371 3363 120 120 65910 57256 1829 6825 32257 21002 3459 7796 49129 36627 6049 6453 79586 61281 10347 7958 13886 13369 95 422 1800 3 1797 185 123 28 34 2786 2146 361 279 10878 8376 1414 1088 LITIGATION EXPENSE 21565 21565 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 13543 10407 1689 1447 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 10467 8059 1361 1047 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 3850 3425 240 185 8206 5537 1232 1437 1411799 1091620 196569 123610 48452 98260 1534422 1835395 442986 600000 13332 126194 25099 19199 59188 49688 4117 9500 60831 153537 10000 0 2139239 2842085 73649 68572 28211 18164 179227 0 10000 0 291087 86736 X 1311152 2035455 537000 719894 1848152 2755349 2139239 2842085 891151 16046 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1344537 856105 1919720 1348819 2195274 7664455 1344537 856105 1919720 1348819 2195274 7664455 2256710 5407745 441 1176 4815 6120 1203 13755 58976 126729 70960 256665 7934875 190188 0.68150 0.75010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 7109 40651 47760 1364039 1411799 216180 54045 0 0 171237 155198 210029 216180 752644 1128966 57122 30076 51547 47760 186505 42809 38800 52507 54045 188161 282242 755 6430 7109 14294 59188 49688 9500 9500 X 2443876 16046 125000 141046 2302830 120 120 2302950 1536679 125000 125000 1411679 120 120 1411799 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. THE ORGANIZATION IS REQUIRED TO FILE FEDERAL FORM 990 RETURN OF ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX, WHICH IS AN INFORMATIONAL RETURN ONLY. THE ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS. HOWEVER, AS OF THE DATE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE AVAILABLE TO BE ISSUED, THERE WERE NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY IF THE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY VARIOUS FEDERAL AND STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
