O U R M IS S ION
OJPC’s mission is to create fair, intelligent, redemptive
criminal-justice systems through zealous client-
centered advocacy, innovative policy reform, and
cross-sector community education.

WH AT W E D O
OJPC is a nonprofit, public-interest law firm in Cincinnati,
Ohio, focused on issues of safety and justice. We work
to substantially reduce the size and racial disparity of
Ohio’s prison population, as well as to protect the rights
and dignity of incarcerated people. We serve people
in the community by removing criminal records-based
barriers to employment, housing, education, and full
community integration. In addition to offering direct,
pro-bono legal services for impacted individuals, we
advocate for public policy that creates safe and just
communities at the state and local level. We provide
education about criminal-legal issues through statewide
presentations, a clinical legal program for law students,
an annual internship program, community resource
materials, and written legal and policy guides.
 A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR:

Dear friends of OJPC,

I hope this annual report finds you safe,
healthy and secure during this time of uncertainty.
Like many of you, OJPC is currently working
remotely in an effort to practice social distancing
amid the coronavirus pandemic. While the world
looks and feels very different, we want to make sure
you know that OJPC is as dedicated as ever to our
mission and our clients.
As you will learn in this report, 2019
was a year of significant growth for OJPC— in
programming, staff, and geographical footprint. ln
April 2019, we launched an exciting new project
called Beyond Guilt, which seeks to free incarcerated people who admit guilt,
served a lengthy sentence, and demonstrate readiness to return to society.
Working cooperatively with prosecutors, we freed nine of people during
the project’s first year, generating numerous media stories about our work,
including in The New York Times. And through our Second Chance Project, we
took on even more challenging cases than before, and educated more people
than in previous years at our clinics and community events.
Our staff also grew. We hired former Dinsmore & Shohl partner Mark
Vander Laan as our new litigation director; former public defender Alicia Miller
as our lead attorney for Second Chance clinics; Laura Beverly, who has over
20 years of nonprofit operations experience, as operations manager; Kevin
Werner, former director of Ohioans to Stop Executions, as our policy director;
paralegal Mara Roth, who came to us on a Richardson Fellowship; attorney
Gabe Fletcher, who left a major law firm to accept an Equal Justice Works
Fellowship with us; and Skadden Fellow Mike Zuckerman, who joined OJPC
after clerking for Justice Sotomayor of the United States Supreme Court.
And perhaps most exciting of all, we laid the ground work in 2019 for
our new Columbus Office. With 18 staff spread across two offices, OJPC has
come a very long way since its founding in 1997.
Despite the challenges of entering 2020 with a pandemic, OJPC is
working harder than ever and our services are more needed than ever. To
sustain our growing statewide impact, we need your continued support. Thank
you for continuing to value our important efforts to reform Ohio’s criminal legal
system and to humanize the people we proudly represent.

Sincerely,

David A. Singleton
A LETTER FROM
OUR BOARD CHAIR

Dear friends,
BOARD OF
Thank you for taking time to DIRECTORS
review the past year at OJPC.
From the board’s vantage point, Beth Silvers
this document is like a table Chair
of contents — an organizing
introduction to the work that Rev. Sharon Dittmar
OJPC’s talented staff, dedicated Vice Chair
volunteers, and deserving
clients do every day. There are necessarily chapters Dr. Nina Lewis
and chapters of untold stories behind every individual Secretary
touched, every issue raised, and every case fought.
Dan Fales
My passion for this organization began with hearing Treasurer
David Singleton discuss OJPC’s advocacy for those who
have been disproportionately punished and shoved Louis Arnold, Sr.
through our legal system with no chance for a just
outcome. It has expanded as I’ve learned about OJPC’s Chris Beard
human trafficking work and second chance clinic.
OJPC’s Beyond Guilt project has added new dimensions Kerrie Clark
to my deep appreciation for this organization. My
optimism for OJPC’s overall impact has increased as Eileen Cooper Reed
I’ve watched our staff advocate for system changes in
many forms: proposed legislation, process reforms, and Sister Sally Duffy
local days of fee forgiveness.
Caitlin Felvus
Simply put, my association with OJPC makes me a
better human — one more committed to actionable Rev. James Metzger
grace, practical redemption, and lifelong renewal. The
motto “don’t write people off” works on me in large Mike Phillips
and small ways. When I was asked to chair the board,
I was honored and humbled to be part of this powerful Dr. Wanda Spivey
civil rights work. The more I interact with our clients,
the more I understand how deeply lucky I have been in Joe Tomain
life and how in an instant I could stand in exactly their
shoes, hopeful that someone might believe in and fight Michele Young
for me.
David Zimmerman
As moving as the stories in these pages are, they are
only the beginning. I hope as you consider these stories
and all that they represent, you’ll consider how you
might contribute to our mission and how you, like me,
might be transformed by OJPC’s relentless pursuit of a
more just world.

Sincerely,
Beth Silvers

“DO YOUR FUTURE SELF A FAVOR”
DONNY’S SECOND CHANCE STORY
People know Donny in South
Cumminsville, especially at the
barber shop.
When he waited for his turn in
the chair, he counseled others
who are in the same place he
was in just a few months earlier:
they’re looking for a job, and
they have a criminal record.
“It won’t happen overnight,” he
advised. “But you can’t give up. I
know it’s hard, I’ve been there.”
At 41, Donny says his priorities
are working (he has a full-time
job with the Metropolitan Sewer
District, or MSD), serving as a
05 | OHIO JUSTICE & POLICY CENTER
mentor for other young men in
his neighborhood, breaking the
cycle of incarceration in his own
family, and sharing information
— and along with it, hope.
“My success opens the door for
other guys with felonies,” Donny
said. “I’ve met some guys who
think when you have a criminal
record you’ll never find work.
But here I am, I have a handful of
felonies, and I work for the city,
and I love my job.”
Donny spent three years in
prison for drug trafficking. He
said that time in prison allowed
him to mature. He got his high
school diploma and took web
developing classes. He was
ready for a fresh start.
“I’m a different person,” Donny
said. “It’s like everyone in prison
was reborn there. No one comes
out the same person.”
But Donny’s transformation
wasn’t enough to overcome the
roadblocks put up by his criminal
record. Even after he found
out MSD wanted to hire him,
Donny’s criminal record made
him a “liability” to hire.
So Donny sought help
from Cincinnati Works, who
connected him to OJPC
paralegal Alyssa Beck.
Alyssa told Donny he was
an excellent candidate for a
Certificate of Qualification for
Employment, or CQE.
A CQE is essentially a
document signed by a judge
that releases an employer
from liability when they hire
a returning citizen who has a
criminal record. For Donny,
a CQE was exactly what he
needed to get hired on by
MSD.
“None of my guys know
what a CQE is,” Donny said.
“Because a lot of them are in
the same spot, just trying to
move forward. But I tell them,
get over to OJPC and they will
help.”
Donny said he wants to make
going to work and being
responsible “look cool” to
younger generations, who
may be tempted to make fast
money in the way he used to.
“It’s so easy to do the wrong
thing,” he said. “But you’re
doing your future self a favor
when you do the right thing.”
NATALIA: LIFE AFTER ADDICTION
Natalia* kept a part of her life a secret from nearly
everyone. She is 14 years sober, but drug addiction
left Natalia scarred physically, emotionally and
legally.

“Any time I applied for a job, I would sit in fear for

days worried about what the hiring manager would
find,” she said.

When she got clean, Natalia only had

misdemeanors on her record. She was s
able to find a job as a contractor for
a large company, but she knew she
could not move up or be hired on staff
permanently without being able to
pass a background check. “You don’t
“There were things I wanted to do,
but I couldn’t,” Natalia said. “I wanted
have to go
to work in a job where I could use my
degree. And I wanted to be financially
secure enough to start a family.”
through
One day in 2019, Natalia was walking
your life
scarred by
through Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine
neighborhood when she saw a
poster for an upcoming free legal
clinic, hosted by OJPC. Natalia had
your past.”

07 | OHIO JUSTICE & POLICY CENTER

researched record sealing in the
past, and she was pretty sure she
would not qualify, but she decided
to go anyway.
At the legal clinic, Natalia met
OJPC paralegals Alyssa and Sheila,
who assured her that she had
several options to move past her
criminal record.
“They were so easy to talk to,”
Natalia said. “That’s usually hard for
me, especially talking about this.”
Natalia was overjoyed to find out
that Ohio’s record sealing law has
changed, and she was now eligible
for a full record sealing. (Read
more about that legislation in the
box below.) Staff attorney Verjine
Adanalian took on Natalia’s case.
“Verjine was wonderful from the
very beginning,” Natalia said. “She
instantly felt like an old friend.”
Verjine and Natalia had to file for
record sealings in five separate
courts. Each filing meant answering
personal and sometimes painful
questions.
“It was intense, but she was such a
rockstar,” Verjine said of Natalia.
Shortly after her entire record was
sealed, Natalia gave birth to twins.
Now, she is pursuing a new job
opportunity with the U.S. Census
Bureau.
“It took me 14 years to overcome
my past,” Natalia said. “You don’t
have to go through life scarred by
your past. And thank God for OJPC
— you guys really gave me my life
back.”

A R E YOU IN TERESTED IN REC ORD SE ALING?

Now is the time to apply for record sealing in Ohio, even if you
were denied in the past.

Like Natalia, many Ohioans previously pursued record sealing

and were disappointed that they did not qualify. However, they
may be eligible now. A new law went into effect on October
29, 2018, through Senate Bill 66, allowing thousands of people
to finally seal their records. OJPC was key in getting this
legislation passed, along with other pieces of legislation that will
give people with criminal convictions more opportunities to live
meaningful, fulfilling lives.

website under the “resources” tab.

 OJPC celebrated the homecomings of nine
clients in 2019. Many of these clients were
serving lengthy sentences; some faced the
possibility of dying in prison.

Our experienced legal team employs a number of

tactics to seek release for our clients. But it can’t
be overstated that these clients are free today,
first and foremost, because of their own efforts
to rehabilitate themselves. Using education, job
training, introspection, writing, reading, therapy
and personal growth, they transformed their lives
and themselves. Our team is blessed to bear
witness when our well-deserving clients earn their
long-awaited freedom.

KAT H R Y N W A L LA CE ,
SUP E R VO L U N TEER!
Kathryn Wallace has earned the
title of Super Volunteer at the Ohio
Justice & Policy Center.
In 2019 alone, Kathryn volunteered
more than 720 hours at OJPC.
“It’s such a wonderful feeling
to know that my computer,
organizational, and even
cleaning skills have increased
the productivity of the office as a
whole,” Kathryn said.
A longtime proponent of criminal
justice reform, Kathryn was
searching for a way to help those
affected by what she saw as a
broken system. An internet search
led her to outstanding work done at
OJPC.
It seemed to be a perfect fit: OJPC
was local to her in Cincinnati; it’s a
non-profit; and it’s small enough that
she could make a difference. So,
she reached out to Laura Beverly,
OJPC’s Operations Manager.
Laura was thrilled to get someone
who could commit to three days a
week, especially someone with a
love of organization and experience
managing small businesses.
11 | OHIO JUSTICE & POLICY CENTER
Kathryn is an avid traveler and
lover of the arts. Her experience
working with non-profits includes
The Cincinnati Symphony and POPS
Orchestras and The Cincinnati Film
Commission.
Kathryn and her husband Tom
recently moved downtown from the
suburbs so they could be closer
to the action of the city (with the
added bonus of getting closer to the
OJPC office).
Kathryn’s work at OJPC ranges from
technical to creative.
“Kathryn’s generous nature is
evident almost daily, in everything
from buying and putting up
decorations on holidays to cleaning
out the kitchen cabinets,” Laura
said.
Several clients even benefited
personally from Kathryn’s
generosity, in the form of new
clothing, toiletries, furniture and
items for their homes after they
return home from prison.
“I didn’t realize just how much these
individuals need beyond legal help,”
Kathryn said. “The challenges facing
OJPC clients are overwhelming.”
One OJPC client who was
released over the summer left
prison with nothing: no clothing,
undergarments, soap, not even a
toothbrush. Kathryn bought and
collected some much-needed
personal items, including a donated
electric wheelchair.

“Oh my, she was grateful,” Kathryn

said.

Kathryn admits that, at first, she

was concerned that her lack of
legal knowledge and experience
might hinder her ability to help. But
she quickly learned there are many
needs at OJPC, among clients and
staff, that do not require knowledge
of the justice system.

“I feel so fortunate that I have the

resources to help, and the support
of my husband and family who
have also chipped in their time
and money,” Kathryn said. “And
if you have the time to commit,
the desire to make a difference,
and the enthusiasm to be part of a
movement, then OJPC might be a
perfect match for you too.”

D O YOU WAN T TO B E A N OJ PC VOLUNT E E R?

Getting involved in your local community as a volunteer can make a
huge difference! Our stories all start with one person, a struggle, an
injustice, and a desire to change the system for the better.

We’re looking for volunteers with a range of backgrounds,

competencies and interests. Here are just a few things we’re actively
looking for: administrative support, volunteer coordinator, newsletter
editor and welcome home coordinator (to assist individuals returning
home from prison).

If you want to volunteer with OJPC, please contact Laura Beverly at

513-421-1108 ex. 18 or email lbeverly@ohiojpc.org. OJPC’s volunteer
application can be downloaded at ohiojpc.org/volunteers.

OJPC has doubled down on its investment in community
education and outreach, in part, by designating a staff
member — Tyra Patterson — to spend her days connecting
with local, statewide and national partners in the criminal-
legal reform space. OJPC’s physical presence in the world of
philanthropy and advocacy has paid off in new partnerships
and increased visibility for OJPC as it grows.

in 2019 alone, more than

13,307 PEOPLE
heard a presentation, took part in a training or attended an
event that highlighted the scope and impact OJPC’s work.

NOW SERV I NG C O LU M B U S CLI E N TS
As a statewide organization, OJPC has long had an impact beyond our Cincinnati office.
But, to achieve even greater impact, OJPC began laying groundwork for a satellite
office in Columbus. We added two additional Columbus-based staff members in 2019:
policy director Kevin Werner and staff attorney Michael Zuckerman. They join Pam
Thurston, a Columbus-based attorney who has managed OJPC’s CIVICC database for
almost a decade.

Having Kevin in the state capital allows OJPC to have a greater presence at the
statehouse, and gives us better access to Columbus-based lawmakers and peer
organizations fighting for criminal legal reform. Mike will bring our Second Chance
project to Columbus, an area with a high demand for accessible legal help. At the first
record sealing clinic OJPC co-hosted in Columbus, more than 250 people showed up
in search of legal help. The clinic was made possible through partnerships with the
Legal Aid Society of Columbus, the Franklin County Municipal Court Self-Help Resource
Center, and Equality Ohio.

In early 2020, OJPC found an office space in United Way of Central Ohio’s building,
strategically located downtown near the courthouse, statehouse, and the offices of
peer organizations. We are excited about what this new chapter will bring, and we look
forward to celebrating this office’s opening when we can safely and responsibly do so.
