🌟 Community Solutions, Inc. celebrates Juneteenth! 🌟 On June 19, 1865, Union troops announced in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved African Americans were free. This day, known as Juneteenth, marks a pivotal moment in history—emancipation from slavery in the U.S. Our CEO Fernando Muñiz reflects, “Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It is a celebration of freedom and a reminder that the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. This Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity and justice.” As an organization working in the criminal and juvenile justice systems, Community Solutions, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring that justice is not delayed for the people we serve. Our mission is to ensure that when individuals gain physical freedom, they also experience every other measure of freedom.

🌟Great to see Insights below from our recent partner roundtable in Durham, where we delved into strategies for enhancing sustained outcomes for individuals transitioning from custody and remand. 🤝One key finding from our mentoring service analysis: individuals often don't reside in the same area as the prison they exit. That's why our partnership models prioritise scalable mentoring services with local delivery. This approach ensures consistency of service provision, a crucial factor in driving positive outcomes. 📈Our analysis also underscores the importance of programme continuity. Those who complete a mentoring programme tend to experience significantly greater improvements compared to early exits. 🗣️And beyond quantitative data, our analysis reveals a recurring benefit of our approach — the advocacy provided by mentors. This personal touch plays a vital role in empowering individuals and navigating their onward journey. Excited to continue this dialogue and explore further opportunities for impact The Wise Group
The Wise Group's Community Justice programme helps people leaving prison to change their lives for the better, breaking the cycle of repeat offending that is so damaging to society and people's lives. As Rt Hon. Justine Greening noted last week, its time we broaden our horizons and tap into this pool of talent that is often overlooked due to historical stigmas.

This essay, along with the mini-doc below, are parts of a project commissioned by the International Center for Transitional Justice examing the intergenerational effects of lynching across the state of Maryland https://lnkd.in/e7TNy2yj
One of the last known lynchings in Maryland happened in Salisbury in 1931, when Mathew Williams was attacked by a racist mob, hanged and his body was dragged to the Black community and set afire. Now the city has finally decided to apologize, and the city council is expected to ratify it on Monday. Many in the community think the apology falls short and doesn't address the intergenerational effects of what is described as an act of racial terror. In 2021 I was commissioned to produce a mini documentary and photo essay on the legacy lynching across the state by the International Center of Transitional Justice. I traveled from Cumberland to Salisbury and in between to interview descendents, activists and other stakeholders. You can see the 7 minute mini-doc at the link below https://lnkd.in/eYugndMK
