Who We Are

SCT’s mission is to break the cycle of recidivism and intergenerational harm by facilitating positive connections for justice-system-involved people with the community through employment, housing, volunteerism and referrals, while educating the community to reduce unfairness and stigma. SCT’s vision is that people experiencing jail, prison or criminal justice supervision are given a fair chance to succeed, a real “second chance”, allowing families, neighborhoods, and communities to prosper. We believe community engagement is a vital two-way street between a wide cross section of community members and justice-system involved people.

2023 Speaker: Veronica Torres

On December 3, 2023, Veronica Torres and Chuck Pyle were invited to do a presentation after services at St. Francis in the Valley Episcopal Church in Green Valley. The arrangements for the talk were made by Rena Robbins and Father Warren from St. Francis. Veronica told her story, being incarcerated at 14 and sentenced to life without parole at 16, in about 15 minutes, which was followed by 15 minutes of question and answer from a very engaged audience. There were about 75 people in attendance to hear Veronica’s inspiring story. This was our first SCT Speakers Bureau presentation.
