👍 Jon Eldan: Helping Those Who Were Wrongly Imprisoned (AARP Article)

FROM THE ARTICLE - SEE ARTICLE FOR MORE!!!

His nonprofit aids the innocent.

By Stacey Colino, AARP. Published September 03, 2024.

After graduating from law school in his early 30s, Jon Eldan worked as a lawyer in a San Francisco firm. He also volunteered to help people who had been imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit — a choice that he says affected him intensely.

“I was deeply moved by the horrifying reality that there are people across the country who are innocent of the crimes they’re imprisoned for, and that we do so little for them after release,” Eldan says. That led him to give up corporate law and launch After Innocence, a nonprofit organization with a mission to provide every person in the U.S. who was released after wrongful imprisonment with reliable support and assistance as they rebuild their lives.
