In Pennsylvania, the pardon process is free and more accessible than ever before. The Pardon Project of Cumberland County was created to help members of our community who were once convicted of a non-violent crime, completed their sentence, and turned their lives around \u2013 and only their past is holding them back from pursuing their potential.<\/p>\n

If you’re someone who has a criminal record and is considering seeking a pardon, there are several benefits to doing so. Firstly, a pardon can help remove the stigma and barriers that come with having a criminal record, making it easier to find employment, housing, and education opportunities. Additionally, a pardon can provide a sense of closure and allow you to move on from your past mistakes, freeing you to pursue personal and professional growth. The potential benefits of a pardon are significant and can create a range of opportunities that may not have been available otherwise. We want to help you realize this opportunity!

The pardon process is entirely free, a lawyer is not necessary, and over 80% of the people going before the PA Board of Pardons actually end up with a pardon! Over a ten-year period, pardons brought over $16.5 million dollars in higher wages into communities all across the state<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Cumberland County deserves its fair share!

It went \u201clive\u201d on February 15, 2024, with a screening of Pardon Me<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/em> and the first Pardon Coach Training at Penn State Dickinson Law. It builds off the Pardon Project that Dickinson Law had started under the leadership of Professor Gary Gildin in early 2022, through which almost 30 law students have helped low-income clients from Philadelphia apply for pardons. Now, with the support of Penn State Dickinson Law alumni and the Cumberland County Bar Association, the project will be opening its doors to low-income members of the Cumberland County community. The Project\u2019s Steering Committee members include representatives from Central Pennsylvania Family Support Services (The Som Foundation), the Cumberland County Public Defender, the Cumberland County Bar Association, Cumberland County Adult Probation and Parole, the Cumberland County Re-entry Coalition, the Clerk of Courts, the District Attorney\u2019s Office, and Penn State Dickinson Law. This group of individuals comes from all backgrounds, ranging from elected officials and civic leaders to Pardon Fellows (people with felony convictions in their past) who all want to help those who have turned their lives around, have done their best, and deserve a second chance.<\/p>\n
