The Midtown Community Justice Center, a pioneering institution for addressing low-level crimes, has expanded its operations to offer services three times a week, enhancing community support.
The court's expansion responds to the ongoing challenges faced by defendants, particularly those grappling with mental health issues, and strives to provide critical resources and alternatives to incarceration.
Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas highlighted the importance of the MCJC in addressing root causes of crime, stating it enhances safety and quality of life for the community.
Now serving adults aged 26 and older for specific qualifying offenses, the court aims to deliver justice through community-oriented solutions, fostering a supportive environment for justice-involved individuals.
