Activities or mission (Part I)
JUSTICE DEFENDERS PROVIDES LEGAL EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND PRACTICE WITHIN DEFENSELESS COMMUNITIES. FOUNDED IN 2007, JUSTICE DEFENDERS WORK ACROSS 35+ PRISONS IN AFRICA WHERE INCARCERATED PEOPLE AND OFFICERS TRAIN AND PROVIDE LEGAL SERVICES FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

IN MANY COUNTRIES, SUSPECTS ARE DETAINED IN PRISON ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY ONCE THEY ARE ARRESTED. WHATEVER THE OFFENSE. SOME, YES, ARE GUILTY. MANY ARE POOR, VULNERABLE, AND UNJUSTLY TARGETED. REGARDLESS, LIVES ARE LOST WAITING FOR JUSTICE TO ARRIVE. OUR WORK HELPS THE HUMANS WITHIN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM FLOURISH. AND THIS INCREASED CAPACITY PROMOTES MORE EQUITABLE, JUST, AND PEACEFUL SOCIETIES, IN KEEPING WITH THE UN'S 2030 SDG 16. SINCE OUR FUNDING, 100,000+ INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN SERVED VIA LEGAL DEFENSE; 600+ PARALEGALS HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN PRISON, 59 OF WHICH GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF NELSON MANDELA; AND 37,000+ INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN RELEASED. IN 2023 ALONE, 370+ PARALEGALS WERE TRAINED, 35,000+ INDIVIDUALS WERE SERVICED VIA LEGAL DEFENSE, AND 11,000+ INDIVIDUALS WERE RELEASED. WE DREAM OF A DAY WHERE NO ONE IS PUNISHED OR IMPRISONED - AND CERTAINLY NOT CANED OR EXECUTED - WITHOUT TELLING THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY. OUR HOPE IS FOR A WORLD WHERE EACH OF US IS EQUALLY ACCOUNTABLE TO AND PROTECTED BY THE LAW. BECAUSE THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE WITHOUT PEACE, AND THERE CAN BE NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
