Staten Island
Project Reset in Staten Island engages participants charged with low level, nonviolent offenses in various kinds of interventions that encourage connection and reflection about the experience and impact of arrest, perspectives on accountability, and the criminal justice system.
Project Reset in Staten Island is provided by the Staten Island Justice Center in collaboration with the Richmond County District Attorney's Office. Participants must complete two sessions in order to resolve their case. Programming options include interactive groups grounded in the tenets of procedural justice and cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as individual sessions focused on connecting individuals with appropriate community-based services. These sessions give participants space to reflect on their arrest experience and how to avoid further involvement with the criminal justice system.
