Emmett Solomon
2005
Texas Criminal Justice Network
Solomon, a minister and former prison chaplain, will develop a coordinated network of mainstream and conservative religious leaders to advocate for and educate the public about the need for alternatives to incarceration. Having worked for four decades with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and with religious communities seeking to serve criminal justice ministries, Solomon has developed relationships with a range of religious leaders, as well as policy leaders throughout the state. Over the next two years, Solomon will use speaking engagements, outreach, trainings, and a targeted media and public education campaign to educate these audiences about the need for change, as well as to build religious leaders' and lay volunteers' capacity to advocate for reforms that protect victims and families but also promote compassion for those convicted of offenses and their loved ones.
