  • Résumé

  • Our weekly radio show airs on Walk 97.5 FM and highlights the humanity of the people who make up our community. We have guests on the show to discuss the myriad complexities within the criminal justice system.

    Legal Aid is the primary provider of indigent defense in criminal and family courts in Suffolk County. Simply put, if someone is accused of a crime or a family offense, they are entitled to counsel, and the courts will assign counsel if they do not have the wherewithal to afford a lawyer. We also provide support services for our clients in need of addiction intervention, housing, or mental health referrals.

    #85 - Resurrection Study Group Members Part 2
    Apr 23 2025
    In episode #84, Stanley Jamel Bellamy, Kenneth Inniss, and Joe Robinson helped us understand how the Resurrection Study Group rose from the ashes of injustice. Today, we take that conversation deeper—to the moments after release, to real stories of reentry, second chances, and community rebuilding.

    April is Second Chances Month, and there’s no better time to ask: What does freedom really look like when it’s coupled with healing, purpose, and a path forward? Let’s talk about transformation that doesn’t just reduce recidivism—it redefines redemption.”
