Mission
GEORGIA JUSTICE PROJECT (GJP) STRENGTHENS OUR COMMUNITY BY DEMONSTRATING A BETTER WAY TO REPRESENT AND SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND REDUCE BARRIERS TO REENTRY. GJP PROMOTES INNOVATIVE CHANGE THROUGH DIRECT LEGAL REPRESENTATION, POLICY ADVOCACY, EDUCATION AND COALITION BUILDING.
-
Criminal Defense & Probation Assistance with Social Service Support At no cost to clients, GJP provides low-income people accused of a crime a combination of legal representation and comprehensive social services, often lasting long after a case is resolved. GJP assists clients who are committed to participating in our social services with access to counseling, referrals for mental health and substance abuse treatment, help accessing social benefits, budgeting, and employment preparation. GJP staff attorneys also provide legal consultation and representation for early probation termination for rehabilitated individuals as well as legal services for returning citizens at Metro Reentry Facility (MRF), the only prison located in Atlanta. Annually, we provide holistic legal services for 100-125 clients and serve over 200 returning citizens at MRF. Criminal Records and Reentry Services GJP is the only Georgia-based nonprofit that is focused on providing criminal records consultation and representation to remove obstacles to employment, housing, and education. We lead Record Clearing Summits and partnerships state wide to clear eligible charges from an individual's criminal history and established and operate three Second Chance Help Desks in Cobb, Athens-Clarke and Richmond Counties. GJP also assists individuals who were denied an occupational license due to their criminal record. All combined, each year we assist over 2,200 individuals with their criminal history. Advocacy/Public Policy GJP's efforts include community education and advocacy to address criminal justice issues on a systemic level. Last year, we provided training and education to over 6,000 individuals. Over the last thirteen years, we have also championed 23 changes in Georgia law, thereby reducing barriers to reentry for those with a criminal record seeking employment, education, and professional licenses.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
