Though February has come to a close, we hope to continue the important conversations prompted during #BlackHistoryMonth. Swipe through the following post to learn more about the important work being done by these local justice-involved organizations led by Black individuals. Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site is proud to have partnered with all of these organizations in the past and we look forward to working with them in the future.

​The Office of Criminal Justice is thrilled to join Why Not Prosper this Saturday, January 27th, to launch the Rolling Engagement Vehicle (REV) Mobile Service Van.
 
The REV Mobile Service Van is managed by Why Not Prosper, an Office of Criminal Justice MacArthur Safety & Justice Challenge (SJC) microgrant grantee, in partnership with the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) of the SJC.
 
The MacArthur SJC supports policies and practices that safely reduce the jail population through policies and programs such as diversion, reentry programs, drug treatment, mental health services, and more.
 
All are welcome to join us this Saturday at 12 pm 717 E. Chelten Avenue for light snacks, music, and connections with community organizations. We hope to see you there!
