A pardon is a powerful tool for people who deserve a second chance. In Pennsylvania, the pardon process is free and more accessible than ever before. The Pardon Project of Wayne 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!<\/p>\n

Pardon Projects are countywide efforts that link together community organizations (called \u201cPardon Hubs\u201d) that have been trained in the pardon form and process. They also have a list of volunteers (called \u201cPardon Coaches\u201d) ready to help people fill out the application.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania is leading the nation in pardon reform! 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>. Wayne County deserves its fair share!<\/p>\n

The initiative was proposed by long-time member Joseph Rydzewski, and quickly endorsed by Bar Association President Christine Rechner, District Attorney AG Howell \u2013 himself a long-time member of the Bar and personally committed to pro bono (volunteer legal services for the poor) \u2013 and Wayne County\u2019s Prothonotary Edward Sandercock. The Pennsylvania IOLTA Board was first to provide critically-needed matching funds for this Project, the Pennsylvania Bar Foundation awarded a one-time matching grant to help get it up and running, and in June 2023, the Schwartz-Mack Foundation provided a grant to support this and the Bar Association\u2019s other pro bono efforts. Ours is now part of a large and growing statewide network of Pardon Projects<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

We train volunteers (\u201cPardon Coaches\u201d) so that they know the process, and we connect them to clients whom we think have an excellent chance of receiving a pardon from the Governor.<\/p>\n
