📚 Spotlight on Resilience: From Adversity to Advocacy 📚 We are excited to feature Dr. Machli Joseph, in last week's speaker series. With over 20 years of experience in higher education, Machli has made it his mission to engage communities, mentor students, and drive positive change through strategic leadership. As a justice-impacted professional, Machli’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance. He firmly believes that failure is one of life’s greatest enablers, teaching lessons of survival, renewal, and reinvention. Grounded in his faith, he sees how defeats and missteps can still bring about transformation and have a positive impact on humanity. Today, as a leader and advocate, Machli dedicates himself to opening opportunities for disadvantaged and minority communities. His background, from Division I college basketball player and coach to earning his Doctorate in Education Leadership – empowers him to lead with knowledge, passion, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Dr. Joseph’s story highlights the need for supervision reform that emphasizes access to education and employment as key to stability and success post-incarceration. His experience shows the importance of a system that supports growth and opportunity, rather than punishment, ensuring individuals on probation or parole are set up to succeed and positively contribute to their communities. Join the movement to support second chances. Share this post to spread awareness about the power of education and personal growth in transforming lives.

❗Over 11.5 million lives impacted worldwide. Are you ready to see how it all started?> For the first time ever, the United Nations has acknowledged the global human rights crisis faced by millions reentering society after prison or probation/parole. REFORM Alliance, alongside Perseus Strategies, INHR, and an international coalition of 120 groups from 49 countries, was proud to support Costa Rica in securing a groundbreaking UN resolution. This historic victory protects the human rights of those returning home, ensuring second chances and supporting dignity and public safety. 💼🏡 Share this monumental win! #humanrights #unitednations #humanrightscouncil #probatio #parole #incarcerated #formerlyincarcerated #reformalliance #criminaljustice #criminaljusticereform #criminaljusticesystem

🌍 Did you know that there was no global guidance on supporting the millions of people who come home from prison, jail, or supervision across the globe…. UNTIL TODAY! For the first time ever, the United Nations is focused on examining and addressing the global human rights crisis millions face worldwide as a result of their criminal conviction. Despite finishing their sentence, and irrespective of where they are in the world, people released from incarceration or supervision (probation, parole, or other noncustodial measures) too often find themselves locked out of their second chance before it even begins, barred from securing necessities like shelter and employment and facing lasting barriers from persistent stigma and discrimination. Fundamental human rights and dignity, along with access to meaningful opportunities is essential for individual and community success, public safety, and societal advancement worldwide. And yet despite this shared challenge, there existed no international consensus on recognizing this as a problem that must be addressed and no global standards, guiding principles, or best practices to provide evidence-based guidance on how to support public safety and human rights and dignity for those reintegrating from detention or sanctions… UNTIL NOW. Today, the United Nations Human Rights Council passed a HISTORIC resolution recognizing the human rights and dignity of the millions of people globally who will reintegrate from custody or supervision using people-centered language to establish the need for support that ensures reintegration is about dignity, opportunity, and human rights for all. REFORM Alliance is proud to have spearheaded this effort alongside Costa Rica, a coalition of United Nations member states, Perseus Strategies, and INHR. Together, we’re paving the way for successful reintegration and reshaping the future of justice on a global scale. Share this win!
