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. 473923 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 56 PEOPLE.WE ARE ALSO LITIGATING TWO LAWSUITS AGAINST THE OHIO PAROLE BOARD TO FORCE CHANGES THAT WOULD HELP MOR.E INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE REHABILITATED THEMSELVES GAIN THEIR FREEDOM. 145870 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. 189549 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. 189549 1257382 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 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 20 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 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 GABRIEL DAVIS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.00 X 185000 0 15528 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 OFFICER LOUIS ARNOLD SR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER BECK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DION CROCKETT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT COLLINS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SISTER SALLY DUFFY 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 SUSAN NOONAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER OLMSTED TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JANET B REID PH D 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 185000 0 15528 1 0 1 0 IGNITE PHILANTHROPY 308 E 8TH STREET 4TH FLOOR CINCINNATI OH 45202 FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES 150000 1 83784 269483 1465123 1818390 55594 55594 18727 83784 30431 -11704 -11704 OTHER INCOME 900099 3528 3528 CREDIT CARD REWARDS 900099 517 517 4045 1866325 0 0 47935 200528 145665 28042 26821 905754 657944 126662 121148 16305 11844 2280 2181 146337 106300 20464 19573 87475 63542 12233 11700 26450 20632 2644 3174 150000 150000 281 281 32430 14726 16993 711 37462 22019 2547 12896 82503 64580 7994 9929 109942 85754 10995 13193 24113 21103 252 2758 5582 4354 558 670 10593 8262 1060 1271 MISCELLANEOUS 24706 15272 7106 2328 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 9780 7629 977 1174 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 7323 5755 713 855 FUNDRAISING 5508 5508 3311 2001 1310 1886383 1257382 243111 385890 75416 234146 1478932 1255551 669317 678178 1187 13170 15145 32870 24572 8856 8298 204638 228752 459365 269936 2909694 2691193 77955 79090 476190 283357 554145 362447 X 1686232 1625215 669317 703531 2355549 2328746 2909694 2691193 X -20058 18608 -25353 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1348819 2195274 889443 1778133 1818390 8030059 1348819 2195274 889443 1778133 1818390 8030059 1382194 6647865 6120 1203 667 45912 55594 109496 126729 70960 110635 308324 1606 1527 4045 7178 8455057 117423 0.78630 0.66900 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 21161 48817 69978 1816405 1886383 244319 61080 0 0 216180 226993 234606 244319 922098 1383147 47760 65288 80823 69978 263849 54045 56748 58652 61080 230525 345788 7109 16557 23052 21161 67879 32870 24572 8298 8298 FUNDS HELD FOR OTHERS 13000 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS UNDER OPERATING LEASES 256936 269936 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 270357 FUNDS HELD FOR OTHERS 13000 283357 X 1884933 18608 18608 1866325 0 1866325 1911736 25353 25353 1886383 0 1886383 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.
