OUR MISSION
Right Your Conviction works to educate and empower individuals affected by wrongful accusations, convictions, criminal records, incarceration, and reentry.
We believe people should understand the language of law, their rights, the options available to them, and the importance of becoming active participants in their own future.
WHAT WE DO
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS EDUCATION
Helping individuals and communities better understand basic legal rights, procedures, and the importance of informed decision-making.
CASE RESEARCH & DOCUMENT SUPPORT
Providing educational support to individuals and families attempting to better understand legal records, filings, and court processes.
RECORD RESTORATION & SECOND CHANCES
Helping eligible individuals explore pathways related to expungement, record clearing, restoration, employment opportunities, and rebuilding.
WRONGFUL CONVICTION ADVOCACY
Supporting awareness surrounding wrongful convictions and the impact they have on individuals, families, and communities.
YOUTH EDUCATION
Teaching young people about choices, consequences, law, accountability, rights, and the importance of avoiding the decisions that can place them deeper into the maze.
REENTRY SUPPORT
Connecting people returning home from incarceration with information, encouragement, opportunities, and resources that can help them rebuild.
WHY RYC EXISTS
The justice system has its own language.
For many people, by the time they begin understanding that language, decisions have already been made that can affect the rest of their lives.
RYC was created to help people become more informed before, during, and after those moments.
EDUCATION CAN CHANGE DECISIONS.
INFORMATION CAN CHANGE DIRECTION.
"A SECOND CHANCE CAN CHANGE A LIFE."
