Why do you come to work at Root & Rebound every day?
Our current criminal justice system is fed by and perpetuates racism, inequality, and poverty. I come to work at Root & Rebound for our clients who have been affected by our unjust system – to help create opportunities, protect rights, and ensure they are treated with dignity.
