Fallen Justice
“Compassionate people are the geniuses in the art of living, more necessary to the dignity, security and joy of humanity than the discoverers of knowledge.”
There are many organizations dedicated to the struggles that our communities fight on a daily basis to remedy. Each and every organization dedicated to these causes deserves our gratitude as we have partnered with many in order to streamline the process for community involvement, paving the way for us, as a collective society, to continue to fight for a world filled with light.
Like the other organizations aimed at moving society towards a different reality, JD Consults joins in the fight for true change.The Fallen Justice Project was created because we understand helping is a must, since we may be the only ones who do.
Below is our most recent campaign. Thank you in advance for your support.
YOUTH OFFENDER PAROLE SUPPORT & MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
In 2014, SB (Senate Bill) 260 created special youth offender parole hearings for individuals who were under the age of 18 at the time of their crimes under Penal Code sections 3051 and 3051.1 (“SB 260 Hearings”) In October 2015 Governor Brown signed into law SB 261, which expands SB 260 Hearings to include people who committed their offense when they were ages 18 through 22, and who have already served 15, 20 or 25 years.
These hearings take into consideration the facts that youth are less responsible than adults for their actions; the features of youth (for example, that youth are not as good as adults at understanding the risks and consequences of their actions, resisting impulse and peer pressure, or controlling their surroundings, etc.); and any rehabilitation and increased maturity over time.
With your help, not only will our highly dedicated and motivated representatives assist in providing the most up to date information regarding options for release, but will continue to work towards reacclimatizing the individual to society. Many individuals when charged suffered from the "diminished culpability," as a youth, but will be released as an adult indoctrinated by prison life. Approximately 61% of individuals will return to prison within their first three years of release. We believe part of the solution to remedying this overwhelmingly disturbing figure is the availability of mentorship. Mentorship takes a step beyond job placement and counseling.
While both avenues mentioned above are necessary and encompassed in our program, mentorship allows an individual to develop more than a skillset we believe no one learns in a vacuum, and when an individual has the ability to absorb the wisdom of others, when the time is right, they will pay it forward. “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
