The cycle of repeated incarceration has long been a problem in Tulsa County

Those who have come into contact with the justice system often feel trapped by the slew of associated costs, complexities, and barriers that could discourage successful progress through the system and follow them for the rest of their lives.

In a landscape where resources have historically been difficult to access, JusticeLink was founded to provide voluntary, safe, and reliable support to those seeking a way out of this needlessly punitive cycle.

Through individualized navigation services, JusticeLink helps people make sense of the complex landscape of community resources in Tulsa by connecting them with the programs, services, and support systems best suited to meet their unique needs, effectively reducing barriers to stability and helping break the cycle of incarceration.

We provide our clients with wraparound support and navigation

Court Navigators

While Court Navigators aren’t attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, they can help clients understand pending court and probation obligations, where and when court dates are set, and obtain transportation to court in an effort to avoid escalation through the system.

Resource Navigators

Our Resource Navigators assess client needs and facilitate connections to life-stabilizing services in an effort to maintain court compliance and develop pathways to achieve personal goals.

Jail Navigation

Our Jail Navigator helps individuals leaving the Tulsa County Jail successfully reconnect with the community by providing immediate support, transportation to a safe destination, and connections to essential services at JusticeLink. Our Jail Navigator works to reduce barriers to stability and interrupt the cycle of repeat incarceration through coordinated, individualized reentry support.

Employment Navigation

Our Employment Navigator works closely with individuals who are navigating the criminal legal system to prepare them for employment through resume development, interview coaching, and job readiness support. Additionally, our Employment Navigator leverages and continuously builds relationships with employers who are willing to offer second-chance hiring opportunities, directly connecting participants to viable job openings and advocating on their behalf throughout the hiring process.
