A new coffee stand is bringing humanity to the legal process by giving people involved in the justice system a chance to connect with others before their court-mandated check-ins.
At the “Coffee Corner,” a partnership between our Brooklyn Justice Initiatives team and Fountain House, participants in New York City’s Supervised Release Program can stop by for a friendly conversation and free coffee, tea, or soda. There are no mandates, no reporting requirements, no strings attached—just a human exchange over a refreshing drink.
This is Community Justice. Read more about this important work here.
