The Restoring Justice Model

Restoring Justice assists people from marginalized communities with holistic legal support, volunteer connections, social services, and trauma care. We believe holistic, loving, and client-centered representation by the local community is the only solution to mass incarceration.

We fight for people’s rights to prevent unnecessary and wrongful incarceration while changing fear-based perceptions in our system to love-based hope. We provide individualized care to lift people out of our system, while simultaneously reforming our system to one of restorative justice, based in making communities whole again.

legal representation

We provide client-centered, holistic trial-level representation for accused people who cannot afford nor have the system provide adequate counsel, therefore stuck in Harris County Jail.
 

adelphoi program

The marginalized are often pushed against a wall by society, but volunteers will join them at this wall and always stand in their corner for and with them, regardless of past, present and future mistakes.

social services

Each client is matched with a loving, client-centered social service provider who walks and guides them through any barriers they may face. They are then given adequate resources to overcome such obstacles.
 

counseling and healing circles

Through a unique partnership, every client is offered free therapy as they navigate the trauma associated with facing criminal accusations. Affected family and community members of this trauma are also served through Healing Circles.
