Who We Are

We’re volunteer lawyers, judges, church leaders, and community volunteers with a heart for those who deserve a second chance.

Our organization was founded in 2024 and is based on the work of a nonprofit in Alabama called Redemption Earned started in 2021 by Sue Bell Cobb, a former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.  They assist elderly and sick people who have spent decades in prison with parole applications and then assist those who are granted parole successfully re-enter society, helping, among other things, those who require nursing home lodging, find it.  We are in frequent contact with the group from Alabama, learning from them and sharing with them any information we believe may be helpful in their efforts in Alabama.
