The project aims to answer, “How does your experience with the criminal justice system show that the system is not working, or how does your experience provide a unique example of how it could be done differently?,” according to an announcement.

Open to those with direct system experience or to their family members, the project will be a five to seven month commitment for those who decide to participate, with support and training provided.

Those interested are invited to learn more on Wednesday at 6 p.m. for “There’s No Voice Like Your Voice,” in the Community Building’s mezzanine conference room, 35 W. Main.

RSVP to Liz Moore at lmoore@pjals.org or 838-7870.
