Amidst the challenges of the Covid-19 era, we committed ourselves to championing the rights of those incarcerated across all 28 prisons in Ohio. Witnessing inadequate healthcare and instances of excessive force and inhumane treatment, we recognized the pressing need for action. Families sought answers, and we emerged as a beacon of solutions.

Our tireless advocacy efforts bore fruit in 2023 with a victorious campaign mandating body cameras for all corrections officers in Ohio’s prisons. Yet, our quest for justice did not cease there. In 2022, we initiated a groundbreaking research study in collaboration with the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine, delving into Post-Incarceration Syndrome. Acknowledging the significance of inclusive language, we rebranded ourselves as Opportunities People’s Justice Leaders, embracing a philosophy that views every individual as a person, nurturing leaders, and fostering opportunities.
