CJASD: Criminal Justice Advocacy & Support Directory

Comprehensive guide to reentry services across Pennsylvania

CJASD: Criminal Justice Advocacy & Support Directory – Connecting People to Help that Heals
Navigating life after incarceration—or while still inside—can be overwhelming. Accessing support shouldn’t be. That’s why CentrePeace, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project, publishes the Criminal Justice Advocacy & Support Directory—a comprehensive, county-by-county guide to services across Pennsylvania.

This isn’t just a list. It’s a lifeline.

Our staff personally contacts each agency listed to verify addresses, phone numbers, and essential details—ensuring that every entry is accurate, current, and truly helpful. The result is a trusted resource that connects individuals to housing, legal aid, mental health services, employment support, and more.

These directories are distributed to every State Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, and individuals can request their own copy. Whether someone is preparing for reentry or seeking support while incarcerated, this guide offers clarity, direction, and hope. We partner with the Pennsylvania Institute Law Project to publish and distribute this directory. Their website is: www.pilp.org

Restoration in Action
The directory reflects our belief that restoration begins with access—and that no one should have to walk the road alone. It’s a bridge between need and support, between isolation and connection, between surviving and thriving.

This is the heart of CentrePeace: restoration not just of circumstances, but of confidence, community, and the belief that help is within reach.
